A Family-Run Business Connecting Cultures

Language Link International is a family-run business founded and directed by Haydn Royle, a father of four, dedicated to offering unique English language immersion experiences for Spanish students.

Founder & Director

“My wife Zina and I, along with our four children, have hosted many Spanish students over the years. The Spanish students have thrived both academically and culturally, rapidly improving their English language skills while fully immersing themselves in British life.”

With more than 10 years of experience, Haydn has grown from welcoming host to director of our immersion programme, dedicated to providing a unique and enriching environment for students to learn and grow.

Our Mission

Traditionally, many Spanish students travel to the UK in groups, where they often miss out on the opportunity to truly experience British life and speak English in real-world settings. Through our programme, we provide students with the opportunity to fully immerse themselves in British culture by living with a loving local family and attending a British school in an authentic, everyday environment.

Our Values

Family First

We are proud to run Language Link International like a family, and each year our programme grows almost exclusively through word-of-mouth recommendations.

Authentic Experiences

Real family connections, not institutional placements. We believe in genuine cultural immersion through loving local families.

Excellence & Care

Every student receives individual attention and care, ensuring their safety, happiness, and English language development.

More Than a Decade of Success

Over the years, we have had the privilege of hosting many wonderful Spanish students who have become part of our extended family. Their experiences with us have not only strengthened their English language skills but also forged lasting bonds that continue to this day.

Success Stories

Below you will find photographs of Álvaro and Lola, two students from Madrid who stayed with us every summer on an exchange, before Language Link. They were both attending school with our youngest children at the time and became part of our family during their stays.
