Security for young learners

Security for young learners during a language homestay

A safe and secure environment during a language exchange or language homestay is a primary concern for parents of young learners. So security is at the heart of what we do. Since 2007, we have been using a stringent validation process for all our hosts.

All our members have provided Lingoo with a copy of their identity documents and a proof of address. And for added security, no member can use our site without first being validated by a human being.

All members have created a detailed online profile, so you will be able to read all about the family, where they live and see photographs of the family and their home. Your partner family may also have an evaluation left by a previous guest.

Families have the opportunity to create a detailed Credentials file (that you may request from any relevant member once you become a member yourself) giving more personal information about themselves and their lifestyle.

We recommend that you spend time getting to know your partner family using our secure message system before making a booking. Read more about how we take care of your family’s security here.
