English courses England, USA, Ireland and over 20 languages in 30 countries.

Home Language International (HLI) is a family-run business offering English language courses in England, USA, Ireland and in more than 20 other languages and over 30 countries worldwide. You stay in an experienced teacher's family home, have one-to-one lessons and then continue to use the language during the rest of your stay.

Your OWN private course

Our language courses are designed around your specific needs and because you are the only student you are guaranteed individual attention! All of our teachers have a university degree (or equivalent) or a recognised teaching certificate.

Learn through USING the language all the time

USING a language in real-life situations is the fastest and most enjoyable way to learn. You speak ONLY the language you want to learn from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave - during meals, activities, your family's social life - you really will be living the language and culture and be amazed at your progress!
