The best way to really learn a language is to spend time talking to native speakers. That’s why the Lingoo language homestay site is designed to allow you as much time as possible having natural conversations with a host family in your country of choice. But how should you choose the right family to stay with?

A homestay abroad involves living with a host family. Any adult reading that statement will immediately be aware that this has pros and cons. So here is a quick guide to deciding whether a homestay abroad will offer you the language break you want.
It can be daunting planning a year abroad during your degree. Ideally, before you commit to a whole year, you would know what it is like living in your country of choice and have at least a working knowledge of the local language. But that isn’t always the case; which is a shame because you could, in essence, ‘try before you buy’ with a short Lingoo break.
Learning a language can be a fun, challenging, and rewarding process for children. It can build confidence, improve their other learning activities, and can also have long term benefits for their working adult life. Therefore, it is a process that should be encouraged and supported by parents. Learning a language can take years. As a result of the time and dedication involved, it is important that those learning languages maintain discipline and keep focused on developing their skill.
