Live and study in your private teacher’s home

For more than 40 years Home Language International (HLI) has been offering language immersion programs in over 20 languages and 30 countries worldwide. You live and study in your teacher’s home, receive private language lessons, share 3 meals a day with your host family, and continue to use the language during the rest of your stay as you share the daily life of the family.

Immersions

Why live & study in your teacher’s home?

Fast progress

Going on a homestay with one-to-one lessons is the fastest way to learn English or any other language we offer. You are the only student and you cannot speak any other language than the one you are learning, this is not only the natural way to learn a language but also the most efficient.

Full-immersion

On a full-immersion programme you’re learning not only during lessons but also by practising the language during meals, activities or during the daily family life. One big advantage of this language programme is that you live in the home of your teacher, so that learning doesn’t stop at the end of the lesson.

Personal

Another advantage of a one-to-one homestay is that you can choose your dates (from Sunday to Sunday) any time of the year and for the duration you want (minimum one week).
