The Lingoo platform allows parents to find the language immersion holiday/exchange that is perfectly suited to them and their child. The Lingoo platform consists of two distinct services, one for parents looking to organise a language exchange with a family from another country, and one for those looking for a homestay language host.
This blog will look at the mechanics behind ensuring that parents find the language immersion host that is right for them, providing peace of mind. A large part of this is the importance of host feedback. Sending your child into the care of another family as part of an exchange, or alternatively to a paid homestay family, is a big decision, the first step that Lingoo takes to provide security and peace of mind is a comprehensive vetting process of potential host families. This is a detailed review that includes asking for and checking references, using tools such as the CRB checks, and our experienced team of staff to ensure that we have received a genuine application that fits with the Lingoo philosophy of safe, friendly, and flexible language holidays.
Once a language immersion holiday has been arranged and completed, Lingoo asks the family of the child for host family feedback, which enables us to evaluate and maintain the level of service that Lingoo and the host family provide.
Why Language Immersion Host Feedback Is Important
When looking for a homestay language immersion holiday, flexibility, security, and transparency are key to ensuring that parents are able to send their child on a trip with absolute peace of mind. Feedback is the ideal measure for language immersion hosts, as it allows them to stand out from the crowd and to highlight the excellent service that they provide. As hosts set their own rates, excellent feedback can have a financial as well as reputational impact. A host with additional language services, and with glowing feedback will be in more demand than one that offers no additional services and has a satisfactory but not outstanding experience. We encourage all parents looking to send their child on a homestay language immersion to appreciate the value of host family feedback, and to review it carefully before making their final decision.
