Sending a child on a hosted homestay language holiday presents an opportunity for parents to develop their child’s language skills, without having the obligation to host a child as part of a language exchange program. This allows you as a parent to immerse your child in a language, greatly improving their language use. In order to maximize the benefits of this, parents can tailor their experience to their needs using the Lingoo platform.

In recent weeks the weather in the United Kingdom has taken a bitterly cold turn, as mid-winter brought ice, snow and freezing temperatures.

Lingoo provides a platform for arranging language exchanges with other families or hosted homestay immersion holidays if you want to send your child on a language immersion holiday but do not want to host a child yourself.

While there are many talented linguists within the United Kingdom, the article highlights the fact that there is a growing skills shortage within the country that seems to be increasing as the number of people receiving school-based language qualifications falls.
