What is a language exchange for children or teenagers?
Children and teenagers can benefit from this more modern approach to the traditional language exchange in several ways. It’s a unique opportunity for children and teenagers to learn a language and experience a culture in an authentic way, sparking a love of learning and helping them form life-long friendships in the process.
Just like a traditional language exchange, two families offer hospitality to each other’s children in their own homes. Your child or teenager can stay in the home of a foreign family for an authentic language immersion experience. Later, you host the foreign child or teenager in your home for a similar experience. You can arrange long or short stays. You can even combine the stay with a local language course or arrange for your child or teenager to attend a local school where feasible.
Lingoo is different. For parents, organising a language exchange is an inexpensive way to improve your child’s target language that puts you in control of where your child stays. A language exchange is an excellent way to improve your child’s target language, but it does take some commitment to plan and organise.
