Preparation is key for a successful program.
L&F provides extensive preparation materials for travelers to help you prepare for what to expect, how to be a good traveler and how to make the most of this unique opportunity.
Not only is traveling as part of a group different than on your own or with your family, but staying with a host family can be very challenging if you aren’t prepared for it.
L&F provides guided lessons for travelers and teachers to help prepare for everything from lost passports to homesickness to packing the right items. This preparation allows everyone (teachers, travelers and parents) to be prepared for it all!
Upon enrollment, you will:
- Have access to extensive preparation resources online
- Be included in 4-6 preparation meetings (depending on destination and time before departure date)
- Monthly reminders of upcoming deadlines and direction to review specific important topics
After 30+ years of organizing student programs abroad, L&F knows that the key to a successful program is PREPARATION and we look forward to being your preparation guide!
The people at L&F are fabulous to work with – they are very thorough, well organized and always willing to help/answer your questions. They have great materials available for teachers to use. We are so pleased!

We are truly carrying out the mission of intercultural and language learning together! I simply would not travel with any organization but Language & Friendship!

Language & Friendship has a major advantage over other companies: incredible experience, 24/7 contact, attention to details never imagined by even the most seasoned traveler, and expert guidance provided for teachers, students, and parents.
