In recent weeks the weather in the United Kingdom has taken a bitterly cold turn, as mid-winter brought ice, snow and freezing temperatures. Whilst spring and summer may seem a long way off, when it comes to organising a Lingoo language exchange or homestay language immersion holiday, now is the time to start planning ahead. 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. Our experience tells us that although users of our platform arrange both language exchanges and homestay immersion holidays throughout the year, the summer is when demand is at its highest. This is why you should ignore the weather outside and start planning for your child’s language immersion summer now.
Book Early To Find the Perfect Homestay Host
The Lingoo platform gives parents the flexibility to find the right homestay language host for their child, based on location, availability, and additional language services of the host family. Each host also has a feedback score and a profile that you can analyse to determine whether they are the right match. Based on this data, the highest rated hosts are in high demand and book out early. Therefore, the later you leave making the decision, the smaller the choice of available hosts or dates there will be for those that match your requirements.
Give Yourself Time to Find the Right Homestay Host Family
If you are using the Lingoo platform to arrange an exchange then you have the ability to speak with the potential exchange family via our secure messaging functionality before committing to the exchange. Once an exchange is agreed, you will still need to make arrangements for transport and logistics, so it is best to arrange things early to ensure you can find a family that suits your child, and that is available at the same time, and in order to book your transport at the best possible prices.
