Learning with Lingoo is the most authentic way to learn French in France. Staying with a Lingoo member living in France that you have selected personally is the best way to ensure that you get the most out of your French trip.  France is so full of magnificent sights and places to visit.

Depending on your tastes, you could go hiking, sightseeing in interesting towns and cities or visit interesting museums, guaranteeing you a complete immersion in French culture and the French language. There is so much choice of where to spend your language trip. You could an explore the most beautiful areas of Brittany and Normandy, visit the romantic sights and wonderful architecture of Paris or the historic centre of Bordeaux.

No trip to France would be complete without sampling French cooking and touring the food markets where the ingredients of the most popular dishes are found. Only by living with a local family will you get to sample the real traditions and lifestyle of day to day life, in French.

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