Christmas Homestay Language Courses

Language, Culture & Celebration – A Truly Festive Immersion Experience

Spend the festive season not just learning a language, but living it. Our Christmas Homestay Language Courses offer adult learners the chance to experience the traditions, warmth, and spirit of Christmas in the country where the language is spoken — all while improving fluency and cultural understanding.

Perfect for learners of English, French, Spanish, German, and other modern languages, this unique programme blends personalised language tuition with the joy of sharing a family-style festive celebration. You’ll stay with a professional host tutor, join in seasonal customs, and practise your language skills in the most natural way — through everyday conversation, festive meals, and shared traditions.

Who Is This Course For?

Adult learners of English or any Modern Foreign Language (MFL)
Anyone looking to combine language learning with a memorable cultural experience
Solo travellers or couples who want to avoid the commercial rush of the holidays and enjoy an authentic, meaningful celebration
Learners who appreciate one-to-one tuition and the comfort of a homestay environment
Language students who are curious about how Christmas is celebrated abroad

Learning the language of holidays and traditions through conversation, stories, songs, and films
Practising reading, writing, listening, and speaking in a relaxed, joyful atmosphere

Lut Heeb

I had an amazing language stay with my host teacher in southern England. From the very beginning, I was warmly welcomed and felt like part of the family. My teacher went above and beyond what I had expected — not only did I improve my English, but I also experienced so much more. We went on beautiful hikes, visited the cinema, enjoyed afternoon tea with her friends, and went on several lovely excursions together. I was accommodated in a private annex that had everything I needed, which made the stay even more comfortable. It was the perfect mix of learning and cultural immersion. I’m truly grateful for this unforgettable experience!

Response from the owner:Hello Lut, thank you very much for your feedback. We're delighted that you had such a fantastic time with our teacher, Eileen. Thanks again for choosing InTuition!

Our 1st grade middle school daughter spent two weeks with a host family on an intensive, full immersion language program.
The host family was wonderful, the location was great, the impact on her English ability and, more importantly, her confidence in using the language in real situations was boosted tremendously.
Highly recommended.

Response from the owner:Thank you very much. We are delighted that your daughter enjoyed her homestay immersion course with our teacher, Charlotte, in Bournemouth.

We had a nice stay in Southampton. The teachers are very good and intuition paid close attention to my needs.

Response from the owner:Thank you, Julien - it is great to hear that you had such a good time with our teacher David in Southampton.

Marcel Chantôme

The formula at the teacher’s house which proposed by Intuitive language for me who is retired is the best formula. Why ? Share the life with the teacher but have free time too allowed me to progress in speaking english. That was my goal. I had lucky to find with Maria an exceptionnal teacher and a guide for discover the Maltese history with visits in different places and so enrich my vocabulary. I thank very much Maria for her time, her cooking and her commented visits no forget her kindness.

Response from the owner:Thank you Marcel - we are delighted that you enjoyed such a pleasant experience with Maria (and her excellent cooking!)

Noelia Prieto

Maria is a truly wonderful person. Educated, intelligent, calm, kind...

She works hard to help you achieve your goals, with enjoyable and empowering classes, with her assertive character and patience.

She is really hospitable, a great host, cooks very well and makes you feel loved and welcomed.

Our visits to the island with her were a real pleasure.

Response from the owner:We're delighted that you had such a great time with our tutor Maria, in Malta. Thank you for choosing InTuition!
