Foreign language holidays abroad

On a Lingoo foreign language holiday abroad, you can stay in the home of a local host family to improve your language skills all day.  Foreign language holidays abroad for adults and family groups  are a modern way to travel the world, get inside a culture and really learn a new language. 

Fancy improving your French on a tour of Paris? Or learning to cook paella, in Spanish, in a real Spanish family kitchen?  The best way to improve your foreign language is to organise a language learning holiday directly with another person abroad because you will practice your foreign language skills everyday.  

With Lingoo you choose and contact foreign host families abroad directly, giving you much more control where you stay, who you stay with during your language holiday abroad and saving you money.  You can organise a foreign language study holiday either as a reciprocal two-way language exchange or as a one way paid stay language holiday with a host family abroad (often called a homestay).

All major languages covered. 

Lingoo hosts and teachers are all native speakers living in the countries where the language is spoken.  So, for example, you could learn French in France or Belgium, study Spanish in Spain or even South America , Italian in Italy or stay with a German host teacher in Germany, Austria or Switzerland.  Click to search and see all of the languages spoken by Lingoo members.  

Language exchange
With Lingoo you could participate in a language exchange. You choose a like- minded foreign family for your language course abroad. A language exchange is then based on the two members each offering hospitality in turn on a reciprocal basis.

Language homestay
With Lingoo you could be welcomed by a host family or language teacher that you pay directly.  You will be welcomed into the home of a friendly host family that you select from the published offers on Lingoo. You can choose a host family or foreign language teacher that fits perfectly with your interests and life style. 

All of our families have passed stringent security controls. Read more about security on Lingoo
