Whilst we love to hear our members’ feedback after their Lingoo adventures, it’s often interesting to tune into their backstories too. We talked to Matt, who signed up to become a language au pair last year, no looking back…

You have probably noticed that adults often prattle on about hindsight and a dearth of crystal balls. What they actually mean is that there are certain things in life they wish they had had the foresight to persevere with, be that playing the piano, nurturing a sporting talent (there’s an Olympian in all of us, right?) or yes, you guessed it… the foreign language.

While most of our members are young people using lingoo.com to embark on the lifelong journey that is language, we notice an increasing number of those in the 40+ bracket seeking hosting/exchanging/homestay opportunities. Scratching the surface to discover why, our findings prove to be quite insightful.

As in other areas of my life (files of files, lists of lists, labels on labels), I admit that I have become slightly obsessive about the way I approach language learning. This doesn’t mean that I have to partake in a ritualistic verb chant before dinner (nothing that dull) but it does mean that at the end of the day, I like to know that there is something in the knowledge bank - however small and random - that wasn’t in there at breakfast time.
