Lingoo homestay host profiles are diverse. They range from traditional and single-parent families to single adults and retirees. But all of them believe that learning a foreign language should be fun and full of the discovery that classroom settings simply cannot offer. They will help you learn and practise the language in everyday situations and while indulging your hobbies. Some hosts 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.
We ensure every homestay is safe, secure and great value for money. The identity of every host is checked personally by the Lingoo validation team before they can register with us. Together with references and visitor evaluations, contracts for each reservation, and support from the Lingoo team when misunderstandings occur, we ensure that your homestays are the ideal way to improve your language skills. Even your deposit is covered by our cancellation rules.
This landlocked German speaking country in central Europe is characterised by majestic alpine hinterland, baroque city architecture and endearing mountain villages. Lying on the river Danube, the capital city of Vienna is blessed with an overhang of grand palatial buildings from the Habsburg dynasty such as Hofburg and Schloss Schönbrunn. Alongside sits a happy marriage of modern design like the Haas House and Museums Quartier.
During winter the Alps are alive with skiers, whilst during the summer months popular outdoor activities include canoeing on the shimmering glacial lakes and hiking in the dramatic Tyrol trails. One of the richest countries in the world, Austria has a complex political and imperial history that stretches back over centuries. Through Mozart, Strauss and Schubert, the country has produced some of the world’s finest classical music. The best of Austrian food is found in delis serving seasonal, fresh produce brunches, and in contemporary coffee shops offering exquisite cake selections.
