Foreign exchange trips and the language immersion opportunities that they provide can help a child develop their social, cultural, and language skills. However, sending a child on a language exchange can be a worrying and stressful experience for parents; they are, after all, sending their child hundreds if not thousands miles away from home to live with a family they may never have met. At Lingoo we help families facilitate language exchanges across Europe and beyond.

Language immersion is a powerful tool that can significantly aid in the language development of both children and adults. Language immersion is when a learner spends time in a country where the language they are studying is the native language, thereby immersing themselves into the language and the culture by speaking only the target language. Language immersion can last for a few days, a week, or for those studying at college level even entire school years.

People learn languages at many different stages of their lives, for many different reasons that are unique to the individual. Whatever the nature or reason language for the journey a learner embarks upon, language immersion is a powerful tool in their development. Language immersion can take different forms: from those thrust into a foreign environment due to life circumstance, such as a new job or migration, to students who use immersion as part of their studies. The latter is catered for by a Lingoo language exchange or hosted Lingoo homestay.

A language exchange can be an educational and rewarding experience for you and your child, as you exchange culture and language with a child from a different country from your own. School facilitated exchanges were once a staple of the language learning process, taking the pressure off parents to find a suitable family to connect with.
