So What’s Included?
Your host teacher will give you lessons which suit you personally, reflect your interests and meet your needs. The tailor-made lessons will go at your pace, giving you confidence and helping you to make rapid progress towards fluency.
You will stay in your teacher’s comfortable home while you receive 15, 20, 25 or 30 full hours of lessons per week – the choice is yours.
The ILH experience includes accommodation and all meals, and you will participate fully in your host teacher’s social and family life after class. Most importantly, you will feel part of the family.
As you are living in your host teacher’s home and using the language constantly, the learning process continues all day – not just during lessons, but all the time: during meals, on trips and when enjoying activities.
