A language holiday is an exciting time for a child as they meet new people and are exposed to a new culture for the first time. Parents are able to use Lingoo to give them peace of mind to ensure they can share in this excitement. A homestay hosted language holiday involves sending your child on their own to a foreign country to stay with a family that are native speakers of the language that your child is learning. There are many different elements that can play on the mind of a parent, such as the travel to and from the hosts, what they will do when they are there, and the fact you are sending your child to live with someone whom you have never met. At Lingoo we have specifically designed our platform to give parents the widest range of choice for homestay hosts, whilst ensuring that security for your child and peace of mind for you are our top priorities.
Detailed Review of Hosts Before Approval
At Lingoo potential hosts write a profile and apply to be included on the Lingoo platform. However, acceptance is not automatic. Each application is subject to review by our team of mothers who check the details, get references, and do not approve anyone unless they would be confident sending their child to stay with the applicant host. This procedure ensures that only suitable hosts are listed on our platform.
Each Host Is Given Feedback
As part of our process, each family that sends their child to a host can leave public feedback on the website that will be seen by visitors to the host profile. This means that the best hosts get great feedback and any issues with that host and their service are quickly highlighted. This gives our hosts a focus on making sure that every aspect of your child’s stay goes well. Also, this gives you the opportunity to use the experiences of others to shape your decision in picking a homestay host for your child.
You Can Use Our Secure Messaging Service to Communicate With Hosts
If you think you have found the perfect host profile, you can use our secure messaging service to talk with the host. This can be used to ask any questions you may have, to become familiar with them and build trust, and to arrange the details of the proposed booking. This combination of security measures is designed to give you peace of mind when sending your child on a homestay hosted holiday. Read More...
