There are many benefits of staying in a host family. It’s the first time that I’m in a host family and I’m not disappointed, it’s like being in my own family.

I had two host families and both of them were really hospitable. In a host family, you don’t have to worry about sheets, laundry, rent… Like in your own family. If you want to be alone, you have your room (cleaned by your host mother), if you want to be home and speak with them, they’re here.

But the most important thing of staying in a host family is that you can see how people live, their routine, which dishes they eat and try new flavours (especially in England). It’s also the best way to improve the language faster; they will always teach you new words. To put it in a nutshell, being in a host family is the cheapest and the best way to improve your English quickly.
