A language exchange takes place between two families or individuals with matched interests who get to know each other before organising a language exchange holiday. Turn a conversational language exchange into a language immersion holiday and practice your language every day in authentic real life situations.
Language exchanges are for children, teenagers, adults or families. Language exchanges take place between two families or individuals who agree to offer hospitality to each other on a reciprocal basis.
Exchanges cover all languages. Search for a French exchange, Spanish exchange, German exchange or Italian exchange or many other languages.
With Lingoo you get to know your exchange partner before you travel and avoid that awful moment when you arrive at the doorstep to meet strangers.

Choose your language exchange partner from thousands of registered and approved families with detailed profiles on our site. Simply find a 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, get to know them and when you’re both happy, book an exchange.
For adults it offers a new way to travel, stay in the home of somebody that shares your interests and improve your 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 and using a foreign language. Apart from travel costs and spending money, it’s free.
By staying on a language exchange, you, your child, teenager or family group can eat sleep and breathe a new language and culture as part of a totally immersive experience. Your child might be preparing for an exam. Or perhaps you’d like to feed a personal passion for languages. Language exchanges offer a relaxed, fun, yet intensive approach to language learning.
Lingoo has thousands of registered, approved 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 language exchanges are safe, secure and offer great value for money.
Our 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 a foreign language. And it will probably be an experience you will want to repeat. Click here to JOIN NOW.
