Become a host family ?

 

Let’s Speak is a French company based in the north west of France.

It consists of a web of English families living in the area who wish to share their homes with French students for a few days or a few weeks.

We offer contacts between English families settled in the area and French teenagers, students or adults from all over France who are keen to learn to speak better English, but they can’t always go to Great Britain and ordinary classes with teachers don’t always help them to speak fluently.

Due to popular demand we are looking for more English families who like contacts, enjoy talking and sharing their culture, and can provide good accommodation and meals.

If you are interested in helping a student learn English, why not become our partner and work with us?

Your Mission. At least one member of the family would be expected to:

  • Be in front of Laval or Flers train station at 6pm (18.00hrs) on Fridays to meet your guest, you will be introduced, then start speaking English … until the end of the stay (the next Sunday 6pm in Laval or Flers , same place for a weekend’s stay, or the next Friday 6pm in Laval or Flers for a week’s stay).
  • Take your guest to your home, do your best to put them at ease, and show them around the house, the room they will be using, and have dinner together. Spend the evening talking about yourselves, the area, commenting on the news and television programmes or playing board games. Give help with English worksheets provided by Let’s Speak…
  • Share all your meals with them – you can even prepare the meals together, explaining the recipes etc … The aim is to teach your guest the vocabulary and expressions of everyday life and encourage them to express themselves as spontaneously as possible.
  • Organize the other days as you like, provided that there is always at least one member of the family with your French guest.

The income you will receive includes meals, accommodation and transportation of your guest to and from Laval.
