VACATION & LIVE WITH YOUR OWN TEACHER

Learn your chosen language living and studying in the home of your teacher. Each day live in the language, chat over breakfast, enjoys lessons in the teachers home followed by social times speaking the language with family & friends..

We have specific requirements that our teachers / families must meet before they are invited to host our international students. We require they have ample living space for the student, and live in a clean, safe and comfortable environment.

The family will treat you as a guest and you will be expected to obey some basic house rules, you will have access to all living areas in the house. Experience has shown us that living with a family is the most interesting and effective way to become fully immersed in your host country’s language and culture.

Your host family will always do their best to engage you in daily conversation while making you feel as though you are in a "home away from home". Remember your host family will have different customs and habits than perhaps you are accustomed to, and meals will be prepared according to local custom.

Normally you will eat the same food as the family. Unless you have indicated special diet restrictions on your booking form, you should not expect your family to make you special meals. If you can't live without your favorite type of food, we recommend you buy it in a local supermarket.

A few things to consider when staying with a family
:: You will enjoy a Private Room

:: Your homestay includes breakfast, Lunch and dinner daily

:: In most cases; students will be expected to share the bathroom with the family

:: Each student will be given a key to their accommodation and will be able to come and go as they wish.

:: Towels, bed linens and pillows will be provided

:: You will be expected to do your own laundry unless your host family offers and in this case they may charge you a small amount. Alternatively, you can take your laundry to a launderette or dry-cleaner.

:: It is recommended, as a courtesy, to inform your family of any visitors that you might have. Under no circumstances are you allowed to have overnight guests.









 

"Our stay with our host family in florence Italy was a fantastic experience which really allowed us to enjoya more intimate glimpse of Italian family life than might otherwise have been possible.

There were many memorable conversations in Italian around the kitchen table about cooking, art,politics and economics, literature and films.We made friends for life. Services provided were very professional and informative. The information provided by the brochure and staff was accurate and useful.

The follow up by the staff both here and in Italy was impressive. I highly recommend this experience.

Living with an Italian family opened up oportunities to broaden and deepen my knowledge of the language and culture. Overall, a marvelous experience. Initially, I was a little apprehensive thatt living with a family might be confining or uncomfortable. This was not the case. In fact, the opposite was true. It actually enhanced my experience of Italy. "
