The start of the 2014/2015 academic year marks a change in the way in which languages are taught in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales. The start of term will see the teaching of languages becoming a compulsory part of the primary curriculum for the first time. This means that children aged between seven and eleven will be required to reach a high standard of written and verbal communication in a foreign language.

For a child that is undertaking to learn a new language, the option to immerse themselves in that language, in a context in which it is spoken natively, is an important part of the learning process. A language exchange organised between two families from different countries, facilitated by the Lingoo network, which provides this opportunity, is a powerful language development tool.

Taken as a whole, the most stressful part of a language exchange or a hosted homestay vacation is often travelling. For many parents, this will be the first time that they will be sending their child to travel unaccompanied; understandably, this can be stressful for both parent and child. Packing the right things for the journey can play an important part in ensuring that your child has a comfortable and safe trip.
