Learning a language is a rewarding experience; it gives the student the opportunity to communicate, interact and even to work within new cultures. A Lingoo language exchange or homestay language vacation enables students to become completely immersed in a language, and in the culture in which that language is spoken. By spending time with their exchange or host family, they will experience the language outside of the classroom, in real world situations, both formal and social.

A foreign language exchange or homestay language vacation gives your child an opportunity to immerse themselves in another language and culture. London and the surrounding areas are a popular destination for homestay language vacation students looking to learn English. Visiting London gives your child the opportunity to immerse themselves in the English language with native speakers, and to experience the historical and cultural attractions of the city.

Taken as a whole, the most stressful part of a language exchange or a hosted homestay vacation is often travelling. For many parents, this will be the first time that they will be sending their child to travel unaccompanied; understandably, this can be stressful for both parent and child. Packing the right things for the journey can play an important part in ensuring that your child has a comfortable and safe trip.

Sandra Raupach’s 13-year old son Lukas loved languages. The trouble was that he didn’t like speaking them. He preferred translating from ancient Greek and Latin into his native German.
