There has been much discussion about the decline in the number of students taking modern languages as a school option, however for those who do decide to learn a language there are several positive benefits. Specifically, learning a language can have substantial benefits to brainpower, personal development and potential job opportunities for a child. So, how can we assist the learning process?
The Language Exchange
The role of the Lingoo hosted homestay language immersion holiday host is to provide the perfect environment for your child to develop their language skills. The right environment is one where the child feels happy with their surroundings and the relationship that they have with the host family. This environment will give the child the confidence to fully immerse themselves in the host language and to therefore get the maximum benefit from their trip.
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.
In a globalised economy, with ever increased international cooperation, learning a foreign language is an increasingly vital part of a child’s education. A Lingoo homestay immersion holiday allows a child to practise their language skills in the real world, to discover a new culture, and to be prepared for this connected world. Spending time in the country where the language is spoken and practicing it in everyday situations, has a significant positive effect on the learning experience.
