One-month total immersion language stay with a family in Canada

Unglaublich · 2019-11-09

Hi, I'm 17. I'd like to find a site that offers a total immersion with a family between Vancouver and Calgary for 4 weeks this summer. Not specifically with a teacher at home because it's very expensive on the sites I've already checked, nor with classes at a school or activities with other foreigners since the immersion isn't enough. Thanks for your help.

Hello, Among the sites you’ve looked at, was this one included?: https://mapleexchange.ca/

I’m not exactly sure what they offer, but about 16 or 17 years ago, one of my daughters went for a 3-month stay. She was enrolled in a high school while staying with a family that wasn’t hosting any other foreigners. However, she didn’t have any special classes for foreigners—she just followed the regular Canadian school curriculum. Since you’re planning to leave in July, there won’t be any school at that time.

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I’m actually interested in doing this during the summer break—not for him to take university courses, just to live with a family.

Actually, it's really unbelievable that you're 17 years old.....
