Learn French with an exchange

A Promotional Feature from Lingoo


Learning can be fun
Learning can be fun
Lingoo.eu, a website which enables parents to arrange for their child to stay with like-minded families abroad, is offering families the chance to register their details free of charge. Families who register on the site before 31 August 2008 will not have to pay the £50* annual registration fee. They will be given access to the site, free of charge, until the end of the year.

The new community website is dedicated to improving language learning for school children,
primarily through language exchange holidays or by paying to stay with a host family. It is the only service available which allows families to select like-minded families themselves and to choose which family to partner with for such holidays. Initially focusing on French and English, the site will extend to include Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and German by the end of the year.

According to Anne Goldstein, founder of the site, “The best way to improve a language is to practise it in the country where it is spoken. However, it can be difficult to find a way of doing this that really suits the individual child. Through Lingoo, language exchange and paid stay holidays for children are organised directly between families. There is no agent involved. Parents can select which family they would like to set up a language holiday with – based on similar aged children, similar interests, similar values or similar religious beliefs. They will have the opportunity to get to know them online before committing to the language exchange. Lingoo.eu is easy to use and is a safe and secure site.”

Lingoo will also appeal to people who are interested in welcoming school children from abroad into their families as paying guests. By being a host family through Lingoo, you will be able to select a child from a like-minded family abroad and get to know them before their visit. Your role will be to help them to understand about our culture and, in the process, you and your family will gain greater knowledge about theirs.

Anne Goldstein concludes, “Learning another language and immersing yourself in another culture is a truly enriching experience. People who can speak languages are more employable and often have a greater understanding of their own language as well as a more open-minded approach to other people’s cultures. Lingoo will put parents in control of organising tailor-made linguistic holidays for their children, enabling them to gain a positive insight into the life and language of another country.”

For further information or for free registration by 31 August 2008, visit www.lingoo.eu.
