Join the Lingoo international student exchange program and you can experience a new culture, discover ideas that open your eyes to fresh opportunities, learn French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese or English in an exhilarating way, and make new friends who introduce you to their community.
With our student exchange program, you choose your host based on their profile. So you can find a host not only in the country and location where you would like to study but who also shares your interests and has a young person in the family of the same age. And to make sure you have a great experience together, you can contact your hosts using our secure messaging system to get to know them before you book. So rather than arriving to stay with strangers, your student exchange program partner becomes your friend. Study abroad, choose your host, learn more than you imagined !
The educational and cultural enrichment offered by a foreign exchange program is second to none. The thousands of young people who take part in a student exchange program each year say they have the time of their lives. They see the world from a new perspective, gain understanding of a new culture, and their host family becomes their ‘second family’ as lifelong friendships and bonds are formed.
The language learning opportunities are rich too. Because you’re practising all day, learning new things, and sharing every day activities in your target language, you learn faster and without realising how much you’ve learned.
The Lingoo student exchange program has helped thousands of young people take the next step towards language fluency and maturity. Read more about joining Lingoo.
Gap years can be a fun, valuable investment in your future if you use them to learn a new language. And the best ways to do that are through a homestay or an exchange.
Living with a family abroad you eat, sleep and breathe the language. If you’re learning it for the first time, your host will guide you from your first few words to using the language in everyday situations. As your confidence grows, you’ll feel able to try your new skills in the local community. And because you’re making such an effort to learn the language, don’t be surprised if you make many new friends. At this stage, you’ll not only be gaining an insight into the language and culture but also the customs and community in which you’re living – something you just can’t learn in a classroom.
You can find host members from all over the world who are registered on Lingoo and ready to welcome you into their homes and help you to learn their language during your student exchange.
