The language school Home Language International was founded in 1979: it has been providing quality language teaching services in the home of a teacher around the world for over 40 years. HLI offers language programs for family living in more than 30 countries of the world, training is conducted in 20 languages. Students live and study in the home of their personal teacher, attend one-on-one language lessons, eat with their family 3 times a day, continuing to practice the language throughout their stay and sharing the daily life of the family.
The classic program for older students. Students are provided with full board accommodation, private language lessons, free time outside of classes and lunch, so that they can independently learn everyday life. The host family will demonstrate the neighborhood, local shops, and arrange a walk at least 1 time per week.
The course includes:
The language program with events offers a unique opportunity to practice language skills right after classes by attending a variety of events: local attractions and national parks, shopping, cooking traditional dishes, afternoon tea, bowling, mini-golf, swimming, board games. The course content depends on the location of the family, local events, personal interests of participants.

Terms of placement:
Host families range from traditional - with two adults and one or more children - to single parent families, young couples without children, couples of mature age, people who live alone.
Host families satisfy food preferences (allergies, vegetarian diets, religious restrictions), language proficiency, course content, and the nature of extracurricular activities. Participants fill out a questionnaire, which helps families better prepare for their stay. Families in another country can live differently: participants are expected by unusual rules, food, living conditions. Program participants must be prepared to accept cultural differences in order to maximize the impact of their stay.
Students can choose a program only with lessons, without lessons, or combined programs combining language lessons and activities (culture, sports, leisure). Regardless of the course, students spend time with family members.
Additional classes:
The advantage of one-on-one placement and study with the teacher is the ability to choose dates (from Sunday to Sunday, any time of the year), as well as the desired duration (at least one week).
Additional expenses:
All students are advised to take out personal insurance.
