Progress your English by living in a British home

Stay in one of homestays and live like a British teenager!

Spend time with your host family and get to experience real British life.  Become a fan of  British TV programmes, eat real British food and chat to your host family about your day in English. This is the fastest way to speak real English naturally and make the most of your experience.

Stay with a host family this summer and become one of the family

Living with a British family means you are surrounded by the language at all times. All of our families are supportive and want to help you improve as much as possible during your stay.


How does a homestay environment benefit your English?

  • Absorb natural English by hearing it around you
  • Speed up your listening skills and comprehension
  • Use your host family as a model to learn the correct way to speak English
  • Ask your family questions about how to use words and phrases in context
  • Do your everyday activities in English such as shopping, watching TV and cooking with your British family
  • If you have any difficulties, your family will be happy to help you.
