Learn English in Scotland

Learn English faster than you thought possible and have more fun than you imagined on a modern Lingoo language exchange or homestay in Scotland. With the total immersion method, you learn English all day, every day, for as long as your trip lasts.

You, your child or family group can learn English with a language study holiday in Scotland.   Lingoo publishes hundreds of offers of homestay accommodation from Scottish host families, teachers and families looking for a language exchange.  

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.

Surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, Scotland is the United Kingdom’s northernmost country, and in addition to the mainland is made up of 790 islands. Much of the landscape is mountainous wilderness strewn with deep valleys and stunning vast lochs. The northern hinterland offers spectacular views of the Northern Lights along with whale watching and golden eagle spotting opportunities.

Edinburgh, with its iconic hilltop castle, is the capital city and is host to a fabulous programme of year-round comedy and film festivals. The other major city, Glasgow, is famed for its stylish and cultural vibrancy along with some seriously handsome Victorian buildings. The national dish Haggis is a tasty savoury pudding mix of meats and spices. Scotland has two celebrated national drinks, Whisky and the carbonated soft drink Irn-Bru. Both are best enjoyed whilst listening to the traditional melodic tones of a tartan clad musician playing the famous Scottish Bagpipes.

Using Lingoo, you have more control and don’t need to use an expensive agency or residential English language school; you can search, select the English speaking host family or language exchange family in Scotland that fits best with you or your child and then directly organise a tailored and enjoyable language learning study holiday.

If you are thinking of adding some English lessons during your stay, many host families will also help you to organise a language course for your or your child with a local English teacher or language school.

Alternatively, staying in the home of a teacher is a new, intensive way to eat, sleep and breathe your English learning. Your teacher provides meals and accommodation together with formal or informal lessons tailored to your level of English and designed to help you widen your language skills and build understanding.

Some things you just can’t learn in a classroom. A Language exchange or homestay in Scotland is an opportunity for people of all ages – from children to retired people – to improve their English language skills in authentic, everyday situations.
