What families say
Real feedback from families who took part in our recent programmes
“For Margaux it was a very positive experience, for her language and personally. The family Language Link chose for her could not have suited her better, so much so that she wanted to go back another year, and she is still in touch with them today. Before this immersion Margaux's English was weak and she was shy about using it. Now it is more fluent and more confident. All the listening and speaking exercises at secondary school are easy for her. We 100% recommend the experience, which is a little more affordable than other companies and in a more family setting.”

Summer 2026“An unbeatable experience for my son’s first stay abroad! 100% recommended. My son, who has just turned 13, has just done his first stay abroad and the experience could not have been better. From the very first moment the whole process was very easy and gave us enormous peace of mind…”

“This summer I spent a few weeks in a town near Manchester living with an English family and attending their daughter's school, and it was an incredible experience. At school I felt very integrated from day one: both students and teachers were super friendly and helped me at all times. At home, the family treated me wonderfully, they made me feel like one of them and as if I were in my own home. I have very fond memories of them all and would repeat without hesitation.”

Summer 2025“Our experience was wonderful from start to finish. From the excellent way the company treated us, through the personal interviews with Haydn, to the well-chosen host family, everything went beyond our expectations. Our daughter took part in the programme three times and her host family always treated her as one of their own. As a sign of the very special bond that grew, this summer we had the chance to welcome them to our home for a few days…”

“Haydn provides truly personalised support. From the very beginning of the process, he carefully considers what is best for each student travelling abroad, and throughout the experience, he is always there to support and accompany the student whenever necessary. The information he provides is always clear and transparent. He is also always available whenever you need to contact him or resolve any questions or concerns…”
“We have been taking part in the programme for five years now and the experience has been fantastic. It is the only option we have found with total immersion in English: they become completely part of the family and of their buddy’s life, with hardly any contact with other students learning English. The world they move in is 100% native at all times, which helps them gain confidence and fluency in English faster. Haydn and the rest of the team are very professional and won our complete trust from the very first moment; they do a great job choosing families and schools and are available at all times to make sure the students are well.”

“Last summer (2026) our son, who is 15, went to Manchester with Language Link International. Everything worked very well at every level: the first meeting with Haydn in Madrid, the choice of family, life in the hosts’ home, settling in at school, Haydn’s follow-up during the stay, the journeys there and back, EVERYTHING! Our son is still in touch with the boy and his mother and the three of them have video calls! As for his English, he has become incredibly fluent when he speaks…”

“It has been a wonderful experience for my two daughters. Each one stayed with a different family and both had a perfect stay: both families were very attentive and treated them wonderfully, they fitted in at school from the first day and their English has come on a lot, above all their speaking. Haydn was always on hand and attentive with all the paperwork and questions. We will be back next summer, 2027.”
(translated)
“We have two daughters. The elder went back a second time and her sister saw how happy she was, so this year she decided to go too. It was 10 out of 10, from the organisation and dealing with Haydn to the families. My daughters came home feeling they have a family in Manchester. It gave us great peace of mind to know they were so well looked after…”
