The fastest way to learn Italian is with a full Italian language immersion holiday in Italy. Lingoo offers a range of Italian immersion holiday programs for adults, children and teenagers that will allow you to combine formal and informal language immersion in a way that suits your learning style whilst staying with a host family.
The best way to learn Italian is to live with Italian people who speak it every day. With a tailor made Italian language immersion holiday you can practice your Italian in authentic day to day learning situations.
Three ways to organise your Italian language immersion:
- Language exchange – you or your child stays with a Italian family and then the Italian member of the same age stays with your family. Find out more
- Homestay – you, your child or family group stay with a Italian family in Italy . Find out more
- Stay with a teacher – you or your child stay in the home of a Italian teacher in Italy for more structured Italian lessons. Find out more.
Lingoo is not an agency and our language immersion programs are not ready made. The choice is yours. On Lingoo you can choose to stay with a friendly Italian host family living in the city or the countryside, you can choose how you combine the formal and informal parts of your Italian language immersion and you decide who you want to stay with and for how long.
Each Italian host family has a personal profile on Lingoo, so you can see pictures of them, the accommodation, your room, and read reviews from previous visitors. They even tell you all about the things they like doing. So you can choose someone who shares your interests.
On our Italian language immersion program, you’ll find some warm and friendly welcomes waiting for you in some amazing locations all over Italy. You might be studying for exams or a professional qualification or simply want a more authentic Italian learning experience. An Italian language immersion can help you do all of these things as part of a learning experience like no other.
The epicentre of the Roman empire and the birthplace of renaissance, Italy was and still is a very important and powerful European country. Only being united as a country in 1861, its 20 regions are more akin to individual states with different dialects, traditions, architectural styles, and specialist cuisines. Of course, Italian food is known the world over but nowhere is it better enjoyed than authentically in Italy itself.
From the Colosseum and pantheon in Rome to the Duomo and Michelangelo’s ‘David’ sculpture in Florence, the country has an unparalleled amount of artistic treasures. The natural landscape of Italy is also extraordinarily diverse ranging from the Northern snow-capped alps to the Southern sun drenched Amalfi coast. Life in Italy is very much about living well and indulging in the finer things, whether that be sipping a freshly ground coffee in a quaint cafe in Venice or shopping until you drop in the fashion capital of Milan.
Lingoo was launched by a husband and wife team in 2008 and is now the world’s biggest language exchange and homestay club.
Our mission is to help language learners connect with learning opportunities within this community, give people the power to decide how they would like to learn and practice a language and help language teachers and hosts deliver authentic language learning experiences.
We’re proud of the many thousands of evaluations published on our site that demonstrate the quality of learning experience our members deliver every day.

People of all ages use Lingoo including parents, families, adults travelling alone and young adults.
Parents use Lingoo to help their children improve their foreign language skills through either a language exchange, paid homestay holiday or a stay in the home of a teacher. Adults and whole families can do the same.
Young adults taking a gap year, in between jobs, learning a new language or even looking for a long holiday often choose to become Language Au Pairs. It’s a great way to travel the world, staying in the homes of local people in exchange for teaching them conversation skills in their own language.
