Welcome to the blog of our English Course in Rotselaar
Sunday it’s the first day of our English Course in Rotselaar. We’re looking forward to meeting all of our students and to spending an excellent week together! Believe us, it’ll be an incredible adventure. With one clear rule: we talk English always and everywhere!
Are you ready for the start of your week with Ruysschaert? You’ll find all the practical information about the English Course via the personal link you’ve received by email. Just to make sure:
- We expect pupils to arrive between 10h30 and 11h30. On arrival you’ll receive the first practical information. Then you can take your luggage to your room and make yourself at home. If you still have time, feel free to get to know the other participants.
- At noon the director warmly welcomes everybody, parents and pupils, to the opening session, explains the arrangements and calls out the pupils’ names so that they can join their class
- Then comes the official start of the course.
- We start with the midday meal followed by the tests and the first lesson.
See you soon!

Sunday: day one
Welcome aboard the English Express, where every student’s journey starts with a ticket to learning (and maybe a few laughs). The team rolled out the red carpet — metaphorically, because what better way to make a grand entrance than with warm smiles and open arms? After cheerful greetings, the first day began with skill evaluations, our way of discovering whether you’re more “grammar gladiator” or “vocabulary voyager.” Once the brain workouts wrapped up, we switched to body workouts: shooting hoops, table tennis, and the legendary Goalkeeper on the Run — like baseball, but with a football, and 100% more confused goalkeepers.
Monday: day two
After their first full day of English lessons, our students were officially “worded out” — but far from worn out. Between grammar drills and vocabulary thrills, they found time to sharpen their reflexes at table tennis and badminton, even launching our much-anticipated volleyball competition. As the sun dipped, the brain got back in the game with our Amazing Word Games: artistic masterpieces in Pictionary, cryptic challenges in “Words Without Vowels,” and the ever-dramatic Amazing Hangman, where each wrong guess brought the stick figure one limb closer to its literary fate. Language, laughter, and light competition — a perfect day’s ending.
Tuesday: day three
Yesterday’s lessons were equal parts style and substance. One teacher even teamed up with students to dress a mannequin — the perfect “fit” for practicing clothing vocabulary. From “button up” to “suit up,” everyone was dressed to impress in English. After class, we took off on a world trip game: boarding passes in hand, destinations on deck, and a cabin-full of curious questions. Teams taxied through trivia, cruised over culture, and navigated layovers in vocabulary—no jet lag, just wordplay. With each correct answer stamped like a passport, students traveled further on their journey to fluency. Fashioned learning, global fun: a runway-ready day from start to finish.
Wednesday: day four
Yesterday brought another round of lively lessons—sun-drenched, heat-checked, and cleverly relocated. With the weather turning up the thermostat, many classes moved outdoors for fresh-air thinking or tucked into cool corners for chill-and-drill practice. After the bell, students enjoyed some well-earned downtime, with optional competitions for those who like their grammar with a side of glory. And now for today’s headline match: Class Nathan vs. Class Willems on the volleyball court. Will it be a textbook serve from Nathan or a punctuation-perfect block from Willems? Either way, expect volleys of vocabulary, sets of spirit, and a smashing good time. Place your (metaphorical) bets—who takes the win?
