Description: Unique Eurolingua One-to-One Homestays: personalised one-to-one tuition, learning and living in your teacher's own family home, including all meals and excursions. Short-intensive, language immersion programmes available year round throughout Europe, Russian States, North America, Latin America, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Any age 16 - 75 years, beginner to advanced. Ideal for personal interest, business, travel or examination revision purposes.

The unique Eurolingua One-to-One Homestay Programme will ensure that you make maximum progress in the shortest possible time, whatever your starting level, beginner to advanced. You live full-board in the home of your fully-qualified foreign language tutor, receiving 3, 4 or 5 hours per day (15, 20 or 25 hours per week) of individual language tuition, specifically adapted to your own level, learning pace and interests, whether for business or pleasure! The rest of the time you benefit from lots of conversational practice by participating in the usual everyday family activities of your personal tutor and family and by meeting people in the local community. You may, of course, have as much independent time as you wish. You acquire an authentic accent, total confidence and real fluency in the language.

Tutorial Hours

Your tutor takes you on excursions, providing opportunities to practise your skills in real-life situations. You may, of course, enjoy as much free time as you wish.

Highlights: One-to-one tuition is recognised as the most efficient and cost-effective method of learning a language. One-to-one tuition, combined with a Eurolingua Homestay in the country where the language is spoken (Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Malta, New Zealand, Portugal, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Ukraine, United Kingdom, USA), is an amazingly powerful way to learn the target language.

Note the emphasis on 'learning'. During one-to-one homestays, the language is learnt. It is easier and more effective to learn to do something than to be taught!

With one-to-one tuition it is possible to concentrate on the most important aspect of a language - speaking it!! How many of us, after spending 6 or 7 years learning a foreign language in school still cannot put together a coherent spoken sentence in that language? Why can't we speak the language? Because we did not have the opportunity to practise speaking and thinking in the language. The first thing infants learn about their language is how to speak it. Reading and writing come very much later.

A one-to-one Eurolingua programme is 'tailor-made' for the student and systematically meets his exact linguistic needs and requirements. Consequently, there is real interest, motivation and enthusiasm to 'learn' the language and enormous progress is made very quickly, especially in the spoken language.
