Native Spanish speaker for language exchange with our son in London, UK

Details

• 

  Description

  We can only host ONE WEEK ONLY: 26 October 2024 until 2 November.
  
  We know this doesn't suit most people on work away but we only have the necessary time for a language exchange for one week in the school holidays.
  
  However the week will be brilliant with loads of free time to explore this brilliant city.
  
  We're a warm and friendly North London family. We have travelled and volunteered in other countries and speak several languages. We have made friends in many countries and are excited by this opportunity to host and meet new people. We'd love to learn Spanish and learn more about Spanish and Latin American culture.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We're offering the chance of living alongside a busy London family. There's always lots going on and you're welcome to be a part of our daily routine. Outside the Spanish language hours we will all be speaking English so you get to practice your English, too. You can explore the many amazing things London has to offer. We have lived here for over twenty years so can give you lots of recommendations. We think this arrangement would most likely suit someone who wants to explore the amazing city London is while being integrated in a family for a one week stay. Because we are only asking for three hours conversational Spanish there is lots of time to visit the city.

We have an extensive library, which you are welcome to use so you don't need to bring a book ;)
