A Lingoo facilitated homestay hosted language holiday immerses a child in the culture of the language they are learning. This allows them to practise their language knowledge, develop their speaking skills and transfer it back to the classroom. A homestay hosted language holiday is when a child travels to a native country of the language they are learning and stays with a responsible adult that will host them during their time in the country, giving them the opportunity to explore the culture in its native setting.

Language learning has been in the news on a regular basis in the last five years. Stories have continually shown an increase in the demand for language skills in the United Kingdom and across the world, as well as a marked decline in those possessing the requisite skills. There has recently been evidence that this is starting to change, and that educators and the governments within the United Kingdom are taking steps to redress the balance.

Parents are able to use Lingoo to give them peace of mind to ensure they can share in this excitement. A homestay hosted language holiday involves sending your child on their own to a foreign country to stay with a family that are native speakers of the language that your child is learning.

Due to number of factors - including safeguarding regulations, paperwork, cost and logistics - the number of school-led language exchanges is declining. The result of these impediment and restrictions is that the number of teachers/schools willing or able to offer language exchanges for pupils has decreased, creating a situation where children could be missing out on opportunities to develop their language skills, thereby reducing their employability in an ever more global market.
