You live and study in your own private teacher’s house, share 3 meals a day, receive one-to-one personalised language lessons, and then continue to use the language during the rest of your stay as you share the daily life of your teacher and their family. Mealtime con- versation, visits, and social contacts all take place in the language you are study- ing so you never stop learning! Living with your teacher means that you have the opportunity to speak the language before, during and after your lessons for a true full-immersion experi- ence. Your learning is constant and your progress is rapid.
