For more information on how you join Lingoo as a Language Au Pair.
Lingoo was launched by a husband and wife team in 2008 and is now the world’s biggest language exchange and homestay club.
Our mission is to help language learners connect with learning opportunities within this community, give people the power to decide how they would like to learn and practice a language and help language teachers and hosts deliver authentic language learning experiences.
People of all ages use Lingoo including parents, families, adults travelling alone and young adults.
Parents use Lingoo to help their children improve their foreign language skills through either a language exchange, paid homestay holiday or a stay in the home of a teacher. Adults and whole families can do the same.
Young adults taking a gap year, in between jobs, learning a new language or even looking for a long holiday often choose to become Language Au Pairs. It’s a great way to travel the world, staying in the homes of local people in exchange for teaching them conversation skills in their own language.
