Language exchanges for adults and family groups
A language exchange is a very different language immersion stay than a traditional language school or agency.
- You choose and get to know your language exchange partner family before reserving a stay.
- You have time to get to know your language exchange partner before travel and avoid that awful moment when you arrive at the doorstep to meet strangers.
- You will be completely immersed into family life and surrounded by speakers of your target language.
- Language exchanges are very good value for money compared to a traditional language school.
Choose your language exchange partner from thousands of registered and approved families with detailed profiles on our site. Simply find a Lingoo member in the place you’d like to stay, look through their profile photos, see if you share the same interests, diet and even religion. If you like what you see, contact them through our secure messaging system, get to know them and when you’re both happy, book a language exchange.
In addition to language exchanges for adults and families, Lingoo offers a range of language immersion options.
- Homestay with a teacher – you can stay in the home of a qualified teacher for structured language lessons.
- Homestay with a host family – you can live with a host family for an authentic language and culture homestay.
- Language Au Pair – receive a language Au Pair in your own home for native speaker language support for your child or children.
You need to know that your language exchange will be safe and secure. Since 2007, we have been using a stringent validation process for members; no one can actively use our site without first being validated by a human being. We physically check each member’s profile and members must supply a current identification document and proof of address. For added security, we allow members to create a credentials file (available to members on request). Our hosts are then evaluated by visitors with feedback left on their Lingoo profile.
We also protect your personal information on our secure servers in an encrypted form and our secure messaging system maintains your privacy during communication with other members. Any financial transactions through Lingoo are also safeguarded through enhanced security. Read more about security on Lingoo.
