Homestay accommodation provides the most complete ‘language immersion’ during your course. We recommend homestay to all students as part of a complete course to learn a language abroad. We particularly recommend homestay to those who are new to the host country. Staying in a homestay exposes students to the local language and culture more fully and frequently results in lasting friendships with their homestay hosts. Our homestay hosts are carefully selected for their friendliness and the comfort of their homes. Some host multiple students in their home, but in most cases these students will be from different countries.<p class="p2" style="margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;; min-height: 15px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"> <ul class="ul1" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: medium;"><li class="li1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;;">Choice of rooms (single or shared) and bathroom facilities (private or shared)</li><li class="li1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;;">A range of meal options</li><li class="li1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;;">Best option for learning about the local language and culture</li><li class="li1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;;">Supportive environment</li><li class="li1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;;">Economical</li><li class="li1" style="margin: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 13px; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;;">Special dietary needs accepted</li></ul>

Generally located in central locations or close to an LSI school, this option offers clean, basic accommodation at an affordable price.
