Homestay Programs France

DESCRIPTION :

Live in a French family! The Nacel homestay program offers teenagers opportunities to experience the everyday life of a host family in France. This immersion program proudly represents the foundation of all Nacel language programs, offering the chance for a young person from abroad to improve his/her level of French. Language improvement comes from the constant immersion in a family. The friendship which results from living as a member of a family encourages continued international communication and understanding.

Nacel’s homestay with a French volunteer host family provides a firsthand opportunity to understand French culture and improve language communication skills. French is a widely-spread language not only in the world of culture but also in the world of business. Speaking French is a tremendous asset for students’ business and personal career.

French host families welcome their exchange student for some weeks with the expectation that the experience will lead to friendship. They look forward to sharing not only their language but also their everyday life with someone who is eager to participate.

Please note that during the June session, the student may attend a local school depending on the host sister or brother’s school (planning, organization...).
