Among the main requests from parents regarding language stays ! 5 come up often (selected excerpts):
“I would like my child to be the only French speaker in the host family during the stay! so that he or she can really speak English…”
“…but I would also like him not to be alone! for there to be another child his age! but not a French one.”
“Would it be possible for my child to be hosted directly by a teacher! to be qatar email list immersed in English ! live with a family and speak well?”
“And who will be the professor! can I have his name! the composition of his family! his diplomas! a descriptive sheet …”
“It would be nice if the journey from France was as short as possible in time…”

These requests may seem complicated or even contradictory!
This is both to guarantee that the child will learn English! thanks to lessons given by a teacher… but it is also necessary for him to feel comfortable in his host family! being sure to share his stay with a friend of the same age.
“When this case arises!” comments Claire from the Verdié Hello team ! “we direct five tips from marion (16 years old) for a successful stay in england parents towards the ‘magic’ formula that we call ‘ two to one international ‘.”
” Its principle is based on welcoming a qualified teacher into the family .
The most important point is that the child is welcomed at the same time as another school email list child ( non-French speaking)! with whom he/she can develop affinities: for this! a specialist in this type of formula is responsible for assessing (via an internet test) the language levels and matches two children who can share the same interests ! It’s really tailor-made !
” On the course side : 15 sessions of 3 hours are planned! mainly in the only the morning! with the teacher. For parents! they have access to a file – with photo – presenting the host family. It’s reassuring and they feel like they’re getting to know them. ”
“ Afternoon : immersion! And this stay would not be “tailor-made” without the activities (2 per week) and an excursion on the weekend… They are carried out in the company of the teacher and adapted to the desires of each person! more sport or more culture! ”
” And that’s not all: to be completely effective! the child must be in top shape from day one.
