English language exchange

An English language exchange take place between two families or individuals who agree to offer hospitality to each other on a reciprocal basis. For adults it offers a new way to travel, stay in the home of somebody that shares your interests and improve your English language skills all day. For children and teenagers it offers a fun way to make new friends and experience a new culture as part of learning English. Apart from travel costs and spending money, it’s free. 

Find an English language exchange holiday by searching through published offers on Lingoo. Our English speaking members can be found all over the English speaking world; England, Scotland and other parts of the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, America and even Australia and New Zealand.  We also publish profiles of English speaking members living in France, Spain and other parts of Europe.

A language exchange takes place between two families or individuals with matched interests who choose each other before making a booking. Using our secure messaging system you can know your exchange partner before you travel and avoid that awful moment when you arrive at the doorstep to meet strangers.

Select your English language exchange partner from thousands of registered and approved families with detailed profiles on our site. Simply find an English speaking family 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, and when you’re both happy, book an English language exchange.

During the exchange study holiday you or your child will be completely immersed in the English language plus the local culture and daily life. If you would like to supplement your learning, many exchange partners will help you find a local English language course with a local English language school or English teacher.

English Language Exchange

Lingoo has thousands of registered, approved English speaking members. By ‘approved’, we mean their identity has been checked personally by the Lingoo validation team. We also check each profile, request references, and encourage previous visitors to leave evaluations of their experience on the host’s profile. Together, these measures ensure our English language exchanges are safe, secure and offer great value for money.    

Our English language exchange families range from traditional and single-parent families to single adults and retirees. Some families can also arrange to pick you (or your child) up at the airport or station and transport you there again when you return home. The Lingoo contract is also there to help unaccompanied children pass through immigration.

In short, booking a language exchange through Lingoo is a totally immersive, fun way to learn English. And it will probably be an experience you will want to repeat. Click here to JOIN NOW.
