Why offer an English language exchange to your child?
Immersion in the land of Shakespeare's language is the best way to learn and improve your English. Thus, during a linguistic exchange, he will acquire a fluent and spontaneous practice. This allows your child to more easily assimilate idiomatic expressions and linguistic peculiarities, which will make him a "fluent speaker in English"!
When English is acquired during a language exchange, it is easier for your child to integrate the lessons and memorize them; much simpler than learning it in middle school, high school, or through language learning books.
On the other hand, for younger children, the fact of living an immersive experience during a language exchange away from their family builds character, and consequently develops a keen sense of autonomy. Thus, the fact of exchanging each day with locals abroad undoubtedly accentuates the mastery of the language.
Immersion in England during a language stay is the best solution for in-depth and lasting English learning. Moreover, what a pleasure for your child to study the language, while discovering a part of Great Britain. Languages are not only learned through lessons in classrooms. They are also acquired through contact with people, when one discovers their history, their culture, their way of life. The language exchange in English then becomes a fantastic adventure.
A host family in England is ideal for many reasons
England, Great Britain's flagship country, is a more easily accessible destination than the United States, Australia, Canada, or even Malta, because it is closer to home. From Paris, the Eurostar takes you to London in less than 2 hours, just like air transport from any city in France. Ideal for school holidays for example. Not insignificant also, the prices are more affordable.
The opportunity to also give your child the benefit of a vast choice in terms of destinations and activities. England, ideally located alongside Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland and Wales, offers a multitude of things to discover, whether in the capital of London, or in cities like Manchester, Bristol, Cambridge, Brighton, or Eastbourne.
The possibility of studying English in a country renowned for the quality of its teaching, as demonstrated by the worldwide reputation of the universities of Cambridge and Oxford.
A language trip to England will give your child the opportunity to learn English with a British accent; accent with such a distinguished tone. However, if you decide to let your child go to London, he may discover multiple accents: Hispanic, Asian, Indian, etc.
