Description of Teaching in a Teacher's Family Netherlands Home Language International
You can learn the language not only in general classes and groups, sitting over textbooks and synopses! The program Home Language International was established in 1979 and introduced a unique, innovative approach - learning a foreign language with living in a teacher's family. Initially, the concept was invented to study exclusively English, but today Home Language International students can study 20 world languages ​​in 35 countries - it remains only to choose a suitable program!
During his stay in the country (minimum duration - 1 week) the student lives in the teacher's house together with his family. Accommodation is organized according to the full board system: three meals a day together with the rest of the family, a comfortable bedroom room and free use of the house's infrastructure.
