Language learning has been in the news on a regular basis in the last five years. Stories have continually shown an increase in the demand for language skills in the United Kingdom and across the world, as well as a marked decline in those possessing the requisite skills. There has recently been evidence that this is starting to change, and that educators and the governments within the United Kingdom are taking steps to redress the balance.

A language holiday is an exciting time for a child as they meet new people and are exposed to a new culture for the first time. Parents are able to use Lingoo to give them peace of mind to ensure they can share in this excitement. A homestay hosted language holiday involves sending your child on their own to a foreign country to stay with a family that are native speakers of the language that your child is learning.

Due to number of factors - including safeguarding regulations, paperwork, cost and logistics - the number of school-led language exchanges is declining. The result of these impediment and restrictions is that the number of teachers/schools willing or able to offer language exchanges for pupils has decreased, creating a situation where children could be missing out on opportunities to develop their language skills, thereby reducing their employability in an ever more global market.

Sending a child on a hosted homestay language holiday presents an opportunity for parents to develop their child’s language skills, without having the obligation to host a child as part of a language exchange program. This allows you as a parent to immerse your child in a language, greatly improving their language use. In order to maximize the benefits of this, parents can tailor their experience to their needs using the Lingoo platform.
