Learn English faster than you thought possible and have more fun than you imagined on a modern language exchange or homestay. You don’t have to learn English from a textbook, CD or in a classroom. A modern language exchange or homestay is the fast, effective and fun way to learn English in the real world.
Learn fast, gain confidence, have fun
Our hosts are ready to welcome you, your child, teenager or family group into their homes to help improve your English. They have all been approved using stringent security checks by the Lingoo team. Now they are ready to help you learn fast, grow in confidence, and experience their culture and lifestyle. Find a host in England, Ireland, America, Canada or Australia.
Hosts become friends
Finding the right host is important. We help you choose who you stay with based on location, lifestyle, interests (and even diet or religion). Our aim is to help you find a language partner so right for you that, through the learning experience, you might easily become friends.

Lingoo was launched by a husband and wife team in 2008 and is now the world’s biggest language exchange and homestay club.
Our mission is to help language learners connect with learning opportunities within this community, give people the power to decide how they would like to learn and practice a language and help language teachers and hosts deliver authentic language learning experiences.
People of all ages use Lingoo including parents, families, adults travelling alone and young adults.
Parents use Lingoo to help their children improve their foreign language skills through either a language exchange, paid homestay holiday or a stay in the home of a teacher. Adults and whole families can do the same.
Young adults taking a gap year, in between jobs, learning a new language or even looking for a long holiday often choose to become Language Au Pairs. It’s a great way to travel the world, staying in the homes of local people in exchange for teaching them conversation skills in their own language.
