Family French language exchange testimonials

Rachel sampling a local delicacy!

Océane and Rachel hit it off immediately and the 15 day stay with us in France went too quickly between discovering Saint Paul de Vence, Cannes, Monaco, outings to the beach with friends, the swimming pool and shopping.
Océane then went to stay with Rachel in August.  She didn’t want to come home – the family, the farm, the horses –they rode almost every day in the countryside,  – everything was wonderful! We are convinced that a long lasting friendship has been born out of this exchange. Many thanks for your professionalism!

Conor and Pablo, aged 14 at Real Madrid Stadium!

All went very well indeed.  In fact, I can imagine that they are going to be good friends for many years to come.  Pablo is a great boy and I met his parents  so that was good as well!

Mrs Debra P., Essex

 

Charlotte and Juliette aged 14.

Charlotte arrived home safe and happy yesterday. She seems to have had a really good time and Juliette and her family were all very friendly, giving her a great stay. We're sure it must have been good, not just for her confidence, but also her French as she's already ordered some books from French Amazon! We've attached a photo form Charlotte's trip to France and 3 from Juliette's stay in the (much wetter) UK.

You've provided a great service, right from finding a very compatible exchange partner and family, to making sure you were available if we needed any help or advice with either of the visits. Thank you for everything.

We hope there will be future exchanges between Juliette and Charlotte, and in a few years, you never know, we may be back in touch asking you to find a partner for Charlotte's younger sister.

Mrs Helen K., Chester

 

Thank you for having found me such a fantastic family where I spend two great weeks, very enriching and full of surprises!! All that would not have been possible without you!  So THANKYOU!

Cécile G., Alsace

 Axel aged 15 from the Vendée region with Ben from Atlanta

It was a great experience!  I believe Ben's comprehension has improved considerably.  Best of all, he's enjoying French class much more.  We thoroughly enjoyed having Axel join our family.  Ben also loved being with Axel and his family as well.  I hope the boys will keep in touch and that they will find a way to meet again next summer.

Mrs Ellen W., Atlanta

Thank you for finding Barbara and her family for me. I had a great time and would like to go back again. Barbara is coming in the summer hols, and I am currently planning what we are going to do together.

 India and Cléa aged 13 at Notre Dâme

William and Victor were well-matched and so I thank you in particular for persisting with your view that this was the right choice make! The boys were good companions and shared a sense of humour.  We hope to meet Victor’s family in the future as they plan to visit London at some stage.

I am so relieved that we did not opt for a language course where William would have had paid accommodation with an unknown host family (this had been our plan until I came across Lingualinks). Spending time in a family context provides many more opportunities as well as more structure. Overall, we are delighted with both legs of the exchange and we feel the whole experience has been very worthwhile. I will certainly recommend LinguaLinks to any one who happens to mention they are interested in an exchange.

Mrs Sarah S.,  Godalming

 

Axel has made enormous progress in English.  He adored his time in Atlanta and continues to correspond often with Ben and Ellen.  

Mme Chantal S,. Vendée, pays de la Loire 



Thank you for this great adventure which involved the whole family and which we look forward to continuing.  Well done for the professionalism and efficiency of your service and also for being so available!

Mme Claudine F., Rhône Alpes.

 

 Marion is back from her stay with the T family.  Everything went really well, she had a great time and is very enthusiastic.  We are so delighted with this exchange that you managed to organise at the last minute – and top quality!

Mme Marie-Jo R., Mulhouse

 

 Annabelle and Camilla aged 12 in Copenhagen

Annabelle has just come back from Copenhagen where she spent a week with Camilla.  She was really happy there and was made to feel very welcome by the very warm and Francophile family.  We hosted Camilla in the South of France during the summer.  Camilla is an absolutely delightful girl, open and well mannered.  She fitted into our family perfectly.and we were thrilled to get to know her.  Thank you so much for making this exchange happen!

Mme Marie-Noëlle T., Paris

 Kate had a wonderful time. The K. family were so welcoming and she really enjoyed staying with them and going to school etc. Her French has improved and she is much more confident speaking.
It has been a fantastic experience for her.  We would highly recommend your company to anyone and will certainly do so at her school. Your choice of family for Kate was excellent and Kate and Marine became very friendly. I am looking forward to having her in June.
Again thank you for all you have done.  I hope this is the beginning of a long friendship for Kate.
 
Mrs Niki B., London

 

 Oliver and Mathilde aged 14 in Geneva

 The exchange went very well.  The match was a very good one.  Kate and Manon got along very well and I keep in touch with Marie-Stella, Manon's mother by email.  We are discussing the possibility of repeating the exchange next summer  - so well done all at Linqualinks it was a very successful exchange.
