Organising a school language exchange program is a long and time consuming process for teachers. It is usually an activity that must be coordinated on a volunteer basis, outside of school hours, by dedicated teachers. The logistical and bureaucratic issues that teachers must now overcome to organise a successful language exchange program have contributed to a decline in the number of schools offering a language exchange program. This decline has alarmed the British Council, who see the enormous benefit which such programs provide to a child’s learning experience.

Travelling overseas can be a daunting experience for even the most seasoned traveller; this is exacerbated when sending your child on a language exchange or hosted immersion holiday. For many parents, this will be the first time they will be sending their child to travel unaccompanied. Understandably, this can be a stressful prospect for both parent and child.

Lingoo is a community website, dedicated to improving language learning for children and teenagers. We accomplish this primarily by facilitating language exchange holidays, or establishing connections for parents to pay for their child to stay with a host family in a foreign country. Lingoo allows parents to get in contact with like-minded families, who have children of the same age, and who have the same interests and values.
