You, your child or family group can learn German with a language study holiday in Austria.   Lingoo publishes hundreds of offers of homestay accommodation from German 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.

Using Lingoo, you have more control and don’t need to use an expensive agency or residential language school; you can search, select the German speaking host family or language exchange family in Austria 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 German lessons during your stay, many host families will also help you to organise a language course for your or your child with a local German teacher or language school.

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

More about Austria

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.
