English stay with Maria

December 2024

I am packing my bags for my return to France after 2 weeks spent at Maria's. The stay was very pleasant, the welcome from the family was as if I were a member of the family. Maria and I went on 6 outings during which I was able to discover the monuments, unusual places, and tourist spots in Malta. Through the lessons, the familiarization with the English language is real. Daily immersion has enhanced my skills in this area. The accommodation is comfortable, and Maria's culinary skills are excellent. Hearty and refined dishes. In short, I will keep only good memories of this stay. It is even very likely that I will repeat this experience. I highly recommend this place.

English stay with Tracey

December 2024

I am writing to sincerely recommend the Tracey family who welcomed my daughter Sara into their home for 9 months. As Sara's parents, we could not be more grateful for the positive and rewarding experience this family has provided for our child. From the moment they started welcoming our daughter, we have seen how they have created a safe, warm and caring environment. They have not only provided our daughter with a comfortable place to live, but they also made sure to integrate her into their family life and daily routine, which has allowed our daughter to flourish. Tracey has always cared about our daughter's wellbeing and has always been accessible and communicative, keeping us informed of her progress, needs and happiness. Although David spent less time at home, he was very kind and loving to our daughter, and equally concerned for her welfare. He was also very attentive with Sara, like buying her Spanish ham for her lunch! Sara also misses the children with whom she got on very well and with whom she still keeps in touch. They are both very good children. Finally, their openness and respectful attitude towards different cultures and customs made our daughter feel accepted and valued. Living with them has enabled her to develop new skills, learn new perspectives and feel part of a family that genuinely cares about her well-being. For all these reasons, I have no doubt that the Tracey family is an exceptional family that provides a safe and welcoming environment for any young person or student lucky enough to be placed with them.

English stay with Fiachra

December 2024

First immersion stay with Fiacra and Fatima for Gaspard (13 years old). He was delighted with this first experience. He felt at home thanks to the warm welcome from the whole family, the good food prepared by Fatima, and the games with Maria. He made real progress in English, benefiting from the lessons with the Ukrainian refugees. It was a wonderful experience to share these moments with the group. We are very happy with this successful first experience. Thank you Fiacra and Fatima for this warm welcome and support!

English stay with Yvonne

November 2024

I have spent two wonderful weeks, I felt at home. Yvonne and her husband are very attentive and help you with everything you need. I was able to enjoy moments with family practicing English. The environment around the house is very nice, and you can go on excursions. It has been a great experience for me. Thank you for everything.

English stay with Audrey

November 2024

I spent 2 full weeks with Audrey and Adam. Everything was perfect. The welcome is extremely warm. I took English classes with Adam. He is a very patient teacher, attentive, very humorous, and always in a good mood. They took me to visit more beautiful places, especially the Dingle Peninsula and its bar, the westernmost in Europe ;-) I plan to go back and I am even thinking of sending my children... For those who want to experience immersion in Ireland, I can only recommend contacting Audrey and Adam.

English stay with Linda

November 2024

I strongly recommend your stay with Linda. She is very welcoming, helpful, warm, and very friendly. She helped us improve our English. We stayed for 8 days with my 12-year-old daughter. Linda assisted us with transportation and visits if necessary. Her apartment is bright and welcoming, the bedroom is perfect, and her cooking is excellent. Thank you very much, Linda.

Spanish stay with Luciana

November 2024

In October Luci and Violeta warmly welcomed me into their home in Murcia. Luci successfully endeavoured to cater for my fat-free diet; I thank her most sincerely. She showed me the delightful villages in the area, all clustered around the River Segura. A highlight was the nearby Balneario of Archena. We also chatted for many hours, in spite of her lack of time and probably energy owing to her other commitments - her shop, her online Spanish classes and her artisan enterprise. Overall I feel that my time spent in Villanueva was very useful and most enjoyable. I thank Luci and Violeta and wish Luci well with her business plans and Violeta much success in her studies and future career.

English stay with Maryline

November 2024

My 16-year-old son had an excellent experience with Maryline! According to him, the whole family was kind. Maryline prepared good, balanced meals every day. Normally, my son has difficulty eating vegetables, but her cooking was exquisite; he managed to finish his plate every time. She also offered varied activities and was available to spend time together (watching a movie together, for example). In fact, we had a bad experience in a host family in England this summer with another organization. My son and his friend ate alone for 2 weeks because that family didn't take care of them. I highly recommend Maryline! My son's English grades improved after this stay. He told me he learned much more in one week with her than he did this summer. Additionally, I have a small piece of advice for outdoor activities: you should give your child a bit of pocket money because it costs money on-site; activity fees are not included in the bill. Thank you, Maryline, and see you soon!

Spanish stay with Pascale

November 2024

Pascale is a kind and caring person. I came to stay with her for four weeks but had to cut my journey short due to family issues back home. She was considerate of my feelings and helped me enjoy my time in Malaga to the best of my ability. Her cooking is delicious, and her home is extremely comfortable, clean, and relaxing with magnificent views of the Mediterranean. Malaga is a remarkably interesting city to visit. I can 100% recommend a visit here and staying with Pascal and her dog, Blue. Thank you Pascal.

Spanish stay with María Vega

November 2024

I had a great week with Vega. The breakfasts were fit for a hotel. Vega is always open to dialogue and recommends visits. Additionally, the exercises in class were very useful. Thank you again to Vega for the stay!

English stay with Margaret

November 2024

My 16-year-old daughter had a very pleasant week with Margaret and John. She did an internship that allowed her to improve her English. Margaret is very attentive and present. My daughter is thrilled with her stay.

English stay with Mairead

November 2024

I would like to express my gratitude to Mairead and Brendan, the Irish couple who welcomed our son Gabriel, who is almost 14, for his first language stay. From the very beginning, they showed great kindness and particular attention towards him, which greatly facilitated his integration and immersion in the English-speaking environment. Although Gabriel has a very beginner level of English, Mairead and Brendan adapted to his pace and understanding while maintaining total language immersion. This allowed Gabriel to make progress in his English learning without feeling overwhelmed. They were very patient and encouraging, which helped Gabriel gain confidence by practicing the language daily. The stay was enriched by numerous cultural outings and discoveries. Gabriel was lucky enough to visit the city and its surroundings, as well as the Irish countryside, which allowed him to discover the beauty of Ireland. He particularly enjoyed the hurling and Gaelic football matches that Brendan took him to, an experience that completely enchanted him as he loves sports. Mairead and Brendan did not limit themselves to the surroundings and even took the time to accompany Gabriel to Dublin by train to introduce him to the Irish capital. This particular attention made his stay even more memorable. We also greatly appreciated the quality of communication with Mairead, who was able to answer all our questions smoothly and reassure our concerns as parents sending their son abroad for the first time. She was a great support and always took the time to keep us informed. Finally, Gabriel was able to share a few moments with a young Spaniard, who was welcomed for the school year by Mairead and Brendan, which added an intercultural dimension to his stay. This cohabitation proved to be very positive and enriching for him. In summary, we are very satisfied with the warm and attentive welcome that Mairead and Brendan offered to Gabriel. Their generosity, patience, and willingness to share Irish culture far exceeded our expectations. Gabriel has wonderful memories of this experience, and we will not hesitate to trust them again for a future language stay. A big thank you to Mairead and Brendan for this unforgettable experience.
