Learn English in the United Kingdom with a total immersion language holiday

A modern language exchange or homestay is the fast, effective way to learn English . With the total immersion method, you learn English all day, every day, for as long as your trip lasts.

Learn English in the United Kingdom

You can learn English faster than you thought possible and have more fun than you imagined on a modern Lingoo language exchange or homestay.

You, your child or your family group can learn English by staying with one of our approved hosts throughout the UK.  As well as providing a warm welcome, our hosts will support your language learning and show you the local sights and sounds.

Learn fast, gain confidence, have fun

There are three ways to learn English with Lingoo:

Language exchange – you, your child or family stays with a family in the U.K, then the other family’s member (or members) stays with you and your family. Find out more
Homestay – you, your child or family group stay with a family in the U.K.  Find out more
Stay with a teacher – you or your child stay in the home of a teacher in the U.K. for more structured lessons. Find out more.

Our hosts all over the U.K. are ready to welcome you into their homes to help you learn English.  Each has 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 British culture and lifestyle. 

The UK is a country rich in diversity and cultural landscape, divided into four nations: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Depending on your preference you can stay and enjoy the green valleys of the Highlands, the busy and exciting cities of London or Manchester or the wonderful scenery of the Cornish  coastline.

Staying with a partner member in the UK will enable you to see and experience the traditions of the United Kingdom.  Perhaps you will learn how to cook the Sunday Roast, sipping the famous "five o'clock tea" or watching a live cricket match. Not forgetting the chance to sample a real fish and chips meal.

If you prefer the hustle and bustle or city life, you could spend time in one of the major cities of the UK: Your chance to live in London, Edinburgh, Manchester, Birmingham, in the most original way possible.

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 an English language partner so right for you that, through the learning experience, you might easily become friends.
