“I enjoyed the hospitality extended by the host families. I felt like I were part of their families. Of course, I also learned quite a bit of French through conversations with the hosts. I look forward to doing this again next summer. The service provided by Languages Abroad was very good. We are happy with the whole process.

I think that it was helpful that I already had 6 years of French prior to going there. With this experience, I  was able to start conversing with my hosts in French. It would be quite challenging for those who don t understand any French. I had a wonderful experience in Paris with the hosts, the culture, the language, the food, etc. I look forward to next summer with the Live-and- Learn program.”

"I stayed with a local family in St Cloud, suburb of Paris. The location is very safe and convenient, near the train station. I took lessons 3 hours daily and spent my afternoon visiting sites in Paris. The family let me participate in all aspects of their life. Only French was spoken and I felt was rapidly immersed in the language. It was a wonderful experience."

“The accommodations and meals were fabulous. The host family, the Falconettis, was superb. I believe I had such an amazing trip entirely because of them! I was very fortunate to have such a wonderful and educational experience abroad. I stayed with an extraordinary couple who went above and beyond the given task to make me feel comfortable and make this an amazing and memorable trip.”
