Organising a school language exchange program is a long and time consuming process for teachers. It is usually an activity that must be coordinated on a volunteer basis, outside of school hours, by dedicated teachers. The logistical and bureaucratic issues that teachers must now overcome to organise a successful language exchange program have contributed to a decline in the number of schools offering a language exchange program. This decline has alarmed the British Council, who see the enormous benefit which such programs provide to a child’s learning experience.

When sending your child on a Lingoo Homestay Language Immersion Holiday, preparation is an important part of giving your child the best possible experience, and of providing you with peace of mind whilst they are away. The amount of money that your child will need to take on a homestay language holiday will vary depending on the location and length of their stay, as well as the activities they take part in.

Travelling overseas can be a daunting experience for even the most seasoned traveller; this is exacerbated when sending your child on a language exchange or hosted immersion holiday. For many parents, this will be the first time they will be sending their child to travel unaccompanied. Understandably, this can be a stressful prospect for both parent and child.

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.
