THE BASICS of a personal homestay language vacation

"experience a new country, it's culture & people, make new international friends, enjoy excursions and most importantly learn the local language.... speak it, read it, listen to native speakers every day!"



After arriving at your arrival airport, you will either be met by a local representative (if you have arranged an airport pick up) and taken to your homestay accommodation OR if you have not booked an airport pickup, you will make your own way to your accommodation by public transport (bus, taxi, etc).

(NOTE: you will receive comprehensive pre-departure information before departure, containing all your arrival information & contact names / numbers including local transport information, etc ).

Your Sunday nights accommodation is included in the vacation.
Once you have arrived at your host family, you can unpack and relax. Take the rest of the day/evening and get to know your new host family / teacher.

Our language courses start on Mondays and you can discuss your schedule with your teacher.

They might ask you to take a 'placement test', which will help them assess your language level and help them with your language level......don't worry the test will only last a few minutes!

The Standard course comes with a choice of 10, 15, 20, 25 or 30 hours private lessons per week.

You will also have at least one free outing with the teacher, during which you will be shown around the neighbourhood, local shops and public transport. When booking you can also choose to add extra hours and/or activities per week and include any of these options.












 

"I had the most amazing time with my host family. It could not have been a better fit. On top of that, my Dutch improved so much in 5 weeks.

I was glad that I had a base knowledge of the language, but the intense, personal lessons and 24/7 conversation was exactly what I needed. It was extremely tiring and stressful at times, because I set high expectations for myself and I wanted to do well. But I had the best experience of my life and absolutely adore my teacher and her family. This definitely wasn't the last time I will see them!

The staff was always very helpful and the information given to me was very detailed. My accommodation was wonderful. The location was beautiful, and I was able to learn the Dutch train system so I could visit my family in other parts of The Netherlands.

My host family was so warm and loving and accomodating that I felt at home right away. They always included me in everything and made me feel a true part of their family."
