It is the most effective way to make rapid progress: you live with your teacher who will give you private language lessons and correct you at all times spent with them. It completely immerses you in the language you are learning as you put into practice what you have learnt during your lessons through social interactions and meal time with your host.

LIFESTYLE PROGRAMME Stay with a host who is not necessarily a teacher but who wants to share his/her daily life and culture with you. An immersive experience for those who want to learn exclusively through practice without traditional “sit-down” lessons.

You have arranged your own accommodation and only require private language lessons. The lessons usually take place at the teacher’s home.
