Some things just can’t be learned in a classroom. Lingoo offers authentic language holidays for children, teenagers, family groups and adults of all ages through language exchanges, homestays and one-to-one language tutors. By staying with a friendly host family or language teacher, you, your child or small family group, can eat sleep and breathe a new language and culture. Whether preparing for an exam or feeding a personal passion for languages, complete immersion offers access to an intensive learning experience like no other.
We provide three great ways to learn a foreign language:
- Language exchange – two families offer hospitality to each other; either as a family group, just the children or adults; this language swap is a totally modern approach to the traditional French, Spanish or German exchange.
- Live and learn with your teacher – you, your child or small family group, stay in the home of a teacher to learn a language formally.
- Stay with a host family – you, your child or small family group, stay with a host family for an authentic language immersion holiday.

Joining Lingoo allows you to book as many homestays for you, your child or your family as you like in the following 12 months.
Hosting foreign students in your home as a family is a fun way to offer paid stays and earn extra income. As a hosting family, just like a traditional French exchange or Spanish exchange, you provide accommodation and meals. But to make it even more fun, Lingoo encourages the student to match their interests with yours as the family hosting students. So you can offer opportunities to share your interests with your guests during each stay. Read more...
If you are qualified to teach a language as a foreign language, you can offer complete immersion to your students, alongside one-to-one tuition, from the comfort of your own home. Home language tuition is a growth area. The unrivalled opportunity for language practice offered by combining staying in a teacher’s home with formal lessons allows students to reach their goals – whether personal, professional or to pass exams – and faster than in a traditional classroom.
