For language au pairs making use of a gap year or career break, enjoying real cultural immersion and even learning a new language yourself is all a part of the experience. You’ll also play a vital and rewarding role in teaching your host family conversational skills in your native language.

Here at Lingoo, we’re passionate about sharing the benefits that language learning unlocks. Whether you’re learning a new language or supporting your child as they add this worthwhile skill to their repertoire, exploring the advantages of a homestay or language exchange is certainly something we’d recommend.
A homestay or language exchange provides the best opportunity to immerse fully in language learning. The passion to learn a new language is only strengthened by a stay in a country where it is spoken.

Getting the vocabulary and pronunciation right isn’t the only challenge faced by language learners. Whether you’re learning a second language or your child is looking to boost their language skills, making a few tweaks to emulate a native speaker is recommended.
Whilst language learners may never sound like real native speakers – getting a grasp of all the accents a country has is an impossible feat! Improving an accent can help the speaker be better understood.

Making your homestay feel like home is important, whether you’re hosting young children, teenagers, families, or adults.
Not only will adding a few home comforts and inviting touches to your guest room and wider accommodation will keep feelings of homesickness at bay.
