Dan and Sunny are really beautiful souls! Our girls loved every minute with them. They have been thoughtful, available and caring to Molly and Chiara during the full two weeks of their stay! We could not have hoped for better!! Thank you too you both!! Susy and Alan
Great welcome, my son was pampered! They are very available, really nice, and took great care of my teenager. Special mention for the delicious little dishes! I highly recommend.
Full language immersion and excellent family welcome. Very enjoyable and fun family activities.
Tracey and her family welcomed my 16-year-old daughter for two weeks in June. My daughter returned from this stay delighted. The total immersion scared her, but Tracey and her family welcomed her very well, and she thrived within their family during those 2 weeks. She also met family friends, equally kind. Tracey took her to visit their beautiful region, my daughter loved it, Ireland is beautiful. I highly recommend this family for their hospitality and kindness.
I LOVED HOW THE STAY WAS AND I ENJOYED EVERYTHING (THE VISITS, THE MEALS, THE ACTIVITIES…)
Everything was great. Parents Lisa and Barry Joëlle Oliver Liam I loved my stay as well as the work experience. It was for my 10th-grade internship and I have wonderful memories of it. My level of English also improved. Thank you all for everything.
Virginie, Sam, and their two boys are very welcoming. My son really enjoyed his stay with swimming in the water wells, kayaking, the beach, sports, and good food! He lost his apprehension about speaking English and also practiced his Spanish. In short, a well-filled stay, a very beautiful experience!!! Thank you so much.
Great! Perfect! My daughter was pampered, spoiled, and in English!! Chrystel was perfect: visits and quality guide!
I really appreciated the accommodation and the discussions with Arjun and Urvashi. I was able to do an internship.
Myla felt very welcomed in the family, their house is super nice in the mountains near Barcelona. Martha and her children took her to Barcelona to visit the city, the Ramblas, and go shopping!! She was able to participate in the San Juan festivities with the celebrations on the beach, she enjoyed the beach and ate tapas. For her first language trip alone at 16, it was really perfect and I want to thank Martha and her family for their kindness.
Our daughter Norah just spent two absolutely unforgettable weeks at Catherine's. From the moment she arrived, she was welcomed as a true member of the family: each day was filled with kindness, laughter, and moments of sharing. The rural setting, surrounded by nature and animals, as well as the shared passion for horseback riding, made this stay a perfect match between their values and ours. Norah returns home with precious memories, increased confidence, and already a bit of nostalgia... proof that she experienced something truly special. We are deeply grateful for the kindness, generosity, and open-heartedness shown by the family. Without hesitation, we warmly recommend this wonderful family to all parents looking for a safe, caring, and enriching experience for their children. A thousand thanks to the whole family!

A language stay is much more than just a trip abroad. It's a cultural immersion, a unique learning opportunity, and a powerful human experience. Whether you're a teenager, a student or an adult, choosing a language stay with a host family lets you live the language every day. Linguifamily is the first French platform for language stays for teens, students and adults, making immersion easy by connecting you directly with carefully selected hosts in more than ten countries worldwide.
Each language stay takes place in a warm, welcoming and safe family environment. Far from traditional summer-camp or campus-style formats, this one-to-one approach encourages genuine connections and real cultural anchoring. You can choose from many destinations: a language stay in Ireland, a language stay in England, a language stay in Canada, a language stay in Malta, a language stay in Spain, a language stay in South Africa, a language stay in the United States, a language stay in Italy, a language stay in Dubai… all through a simple interface and continuous support.
The platform offers total transparency: detailed host family profiles, integrated messaging, booking management, and 24/7 support. This enables everyone to plan their language stay with peace of mind, depending on their goals: improve your English, discover a new culture, become more independent, or enjoy a rewarding language exchange.
Language stays for teens are designed to meet the specific needs of young people aged 10 to 18. This format helps teenagers make fast progress in a language while enjoying an unforgettable human and cultural experience. Thanks to host family accommodation, every language stay for teens becomes total immersion: young participants practise the language from morning to night, in a caring environment.
Among the most popular destinations for teens is a language stay in London, highly appreciated for its cultural richness and the variety of activities on offer. Language stays in London combine discovering the British capital with natural English learning, while being hosted by a local family. The experience is just as captivating in other English-speaking countries such as Ireland, where a language stay in Ireland offers immersion in a calmer, greener setting.
Host families are selected according to strict criteria: ability to host young people, a safe family environment, and the motivation to share their culture. Language stays for teenagers often include local activities, excursions or entertainment, which helps integration and boosts motivation to speak the language. We have also been offering Summer Camps for teens since this year.
For teens looking for something more exotic, a language stay in South Africa offers a completely different experience. In addition to learning English, they discover a rich culture and spectacular nature. It's an excellent way to combine language learning, adventure and open-mindedness.
Language stays for adults are aimed at a wide audience: post-secondary students, career changers, professionals, or simply language lovers. Learning doesn't stop at school, and a language stay for adults makes it possible to restart or improve a language in a practical and stimulating context.
This format offers many possibilities: you can choose an English language stay in a city like London or Dublin, or opt for a sunnier, more relaxed destination such as a language stay in Malta. Each destination offers a suitable pace, with host families ready to adapt to your specific needs.
Language stays in the USA are also in high demand: spending a few weeks with an American family lets you dive into local culture, pick up authentic expressions, and significantly improve your spoken fluency. For this, the language stay in the USA offered by Linguifamily is fully customisable.
It's also possible to stay closer to home while still enjoying real immersion. A language stay in France is ideal for foreign learners or French speakers who want to improve a regional language or a foreign language with a bilingual host. It also helps avoid the constraints linked to international travel.
For those who want to improve without breaking the bank, Linguifamily also offers affordable language stays, by targeting certain destinations off-season or shorter formats. The accessible price does not compromise the quality of the welcome or the intensity of immersion.
The effectiveness of a language stay largely relies on total immersion and natural exchanges with the host family. Far from a classroom method, learning happens through practice: you learn by speaking, listening, and sharing everyday moments. That's what makes this format faster and more memorable than traditional lessons.
One of the key strengths of this approach is flexibility. Every family is different, and each participant can choose the environment that suits them: urban, rural, lively or quiet. It's also possible to filter by interests, languages spoken, or the type of activities offered during the stay.
Language stays in England remain an essential reference. Thanks to its proximity to France, travel is easy and the experience stays immersive. You'll practise rich English while being exposed to a wide variety of accents depending on the region. Others choose English language stays in Canada, where the environment is bilingual, or in more distant countries such as South Africa for a more intense immersion.
By choosing a language stay in Canada, participants enjoy a warm welcome, a safe environment, and North American-paced English. This type of stay is particularly popular with students and young professionals looking to work internationally or prepare for exams such as TOEIC or IELTS.
