Postcards from the edge of sanity
Ouf! It is getting dangerously hot, isn’t it? And these new spicy hot temperatures are not adapted for our bodies and minds. We have read studies which suggest that in Mexico, there is a 1.5% increase in the number of murders for every degree that the temperature rises! Now, this kind of madness is not […]
The Results of the Great ELC Bake-off
DANIEL // Bake Off – The Finale About my ‘competitor’ At the end of a competition, we should be gracious. We should be respectful. We should be a good sport, no matter whether we have won or lost. We should be an example to those that follow in our footsteps. It’s not always easy to […]
Bake Off – Hot Cross Buns
Bake Off – Hot Cross Buns / DANIEL Non-fighting words Competition is a healthy activity. It pushes us to be better, and can test our limits. And what better type of competition than a cooking one!

It’s Graduation Day at ELC!
In October 2018, 11 brave men and women arrived at the Maison de l’Avocat with a sense of trepidation and embarked on a marathon 18 months of legal English training with ELC. Some were lawyers, some were in-house lawyers, and one member of the team worked for an expert witness. Each member embarked on a […]
ELC did a 30-day challenge
