Individual Student Family Stays
Language & Friendship is pleased to offer motivated language students the opportunity to live with a host family in France, Spain, or Argentina for 3 weeks in June/July. Our partners in these countries are personal friends and colleagues of Language & Friendship and have extensive experience arranging family-stay programs.
An individual family stay provides a true immersion in the language and culture – the best way to make real progress in the language and to better understand the culture by living it.
In Argentina and Costa Rica, you will have the opportunity to attend school. France and Spain schools will be on their summer vacations.
