People learn languages at many different stages of their lives, for many different reasons that are unique to the individual. Whatever the nature or reason language for the journey a learner embarks upon, language immersion is a powerful tool in their development. Language immersion can take different forms: from those thrust into a foreign environment due to life circumstance, such as a new job or migration, to students who use immersion as part of their studies. The latter is catered for by a Lingoo language exchange or hosted Lingoo homestay.

A language exchange can be an educational and rewarding experience for you and your child, as you exchange culture and language with a child from a different country from your own. School facilitated exchanges were once a staple of the language learning process, taking the pressure off parents to find a suitable family to connect with.

A homestay language immersion holiday enables your child to spend time with a host family that speaks the native language which they are learning. When facilitating a language immersion holiday for a child, it is normal practice for the host to arrange one or a number of different trips or activities. These activities are designed to expose the child to the local culture, and to help them develop their language skills in a natural setting.

These changes are designed to get children learning languages early to boost participation and language skills. The rollout of compulsory language teaching to seven and eleven year-olds is almost complete: 99 percent of primary schools are currently teaching languages to their pupils. However it will take time for teachers at the older age groups to see the benefit.
