Language exchange platform

Language holidays for children, teenagers, family groups and adults of all ages through language exchanges, homestays and one-to-one language tutors. Lingoo provides four ways to learn a foreign language:

  • Language exchange – two families offer hospitality to each other; either as a family group, just the children or adults; this language swap is a modern approach to the traditional French exchange.
  • Live and learn with your teacher – stay in the home of a teacher to learn French formally.
  • Stay with a host family – stay with a host family for a French language immersion holiday.
  • Conversation training – day-to-day access to a native speaker when you host a Language Au Pair in your home for intensive, language and conversation practice.

Why I didn't learn French in France

Jimmy's experience trying to learn the language while hanging out in France ... A fun article !
