Lingoo host family profiles are diverse. They range from traditional and single-parent families to single adults and retirees. But all of them believe that learning a foreign language should be fun and full of the discovery that classroom settings simply cannot offer. They will help you learn and practise the language in everyday situations and while indulging your hobbies. Some hosts can also arrange to pick you (or your child) up at the airport or station and transport you there again when you return home. The Lingoo contract is also there to help unaccompanied children pass through immigration.
We ensure every homestay is safe, secure and great value for money. The identity of every host is checked personally by the Lingoo validation team before they can register with us.

Even your deposit is covered by our cancellation rules.
