Welcome to Donna's home
Hi everyone, My name is Donna I live here in Donegal, with my three kids aged almost 13, 10, and 6. I am hosting for three years. We live in a beautiful, picturesque area of Ireland, Donegal. Our town has tennis courts, basketball, soccer pitches, rugby, swimming pool, cinema, bowling, laser tag, theatre, golf, pool tables, and darts.
I can host siblings or friends but English has to be spoken at all times. *** I can help students with the Cambridge English B1 and B2 exams. **
I can organise voluntary work experience for students from age 16 years and older.
Laundry service available. Free WiFi, Netflix, Disney, and Prime TV.
Regarding the house: We live in a spacious, modern-style country house. My property covers an area of 1 acre, including a large garden and a garden seated area. The house has 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and several common areas. There is a bus stop located 1.5 km away from our home, and the nearest town is 5 km away. The city of Derry is a 30-minute drive.
**I offer the total immersion guarantee**
Can share a room or separate rooms
I can offer voluntary work experience in our local youth centre. Every student that goes there truly loves it, and has a great experience there.
Each morning we will have breakfast together, followed by 1.5 to 2 hours of English lessons. The lessons will be both oral and written English. Depending on the age of the child and level of English they have, we will follow up the morning lessons with homework in the evening time.
We will go on day trips around Donegal to various locations, sightseeing and enjoying Donegal.
The student will be offered to attend one evening Art camp (1 hour) and one evening video game camp (2 hours) every week for free. The video game camp is age 10+. The student will be able to mix with lots of kids their age in a supervised setting.
The student will be able to play various board games every night with the family.
There are also football or basketball, or skate parks nearby. There are beautiful walks and also beach walks near our home.
All our meals are home-cooked and vary from day to day. Sometimes we also get takeaways at the weekend.
We love watching movies on Netflix, Disney or Prime TV, and sometimes go to the cinema.
**Can organise voluntary work experience in local leisure centre or Library**
Donna a été très à l'écoute de nos craintes, de nos attentes pour notre fils de 16 ans. Elle a su très vite nous rassurer, d'ailleurs elle n'a pas cessé de communiquer avec nous pendant son séjour. Notre fils a été très bien accueilli dans cette famille aimante et unie. Notre fils s'est senti vite en confiance. Les cours d'anglais enseignés ont été très profitables, notre fils a pu s'améliorer pendant ces 15 jours. Son stage dans le Camp s'est très bien passé, avec des superbes rencontres sur site et des personnes attentionnées. Il a d'ailleurs fait la rencontre d'un groupe d'espagnols, ce qui a permis d'ailleurs à notre fils de parler sa 2ème langue étrangère. Je conseille vivement les familles de franchir le pas avec Donna.
