About us
Lingoo is a project that was conceived and developed by a husband and wife team with a lot of help from our skilled and hard working developers. |
Over the years, friends from all over Europe were always asking us for help in finding an exchange family to develop their child’s language skills. This became one of the services our family regularly provided to our extended network of friends and associates.
A change of career direction, some time on our hands and the desire to start up our own business, gave us the opportunity to explore the idea. The more we looked, the more we were convinced that the options for parents seeking a language holiday for their children were still quite traditional and institutionalised. We couldn’t find any other services that were utilising all of the benefits of the internet and giving some real choice back to parents seeking a more personalised solution.
The project started with the name Lingoo and has taken nearly two years of hard work to develop and launch. Along the way we have used the services of a number of talented professionals who have helped us develop various parts of the business. We are grateful to all of them. We hope you like Lingoo and, in turn, help us by telling your own family and friends about our service.

Lingoo
Lingoo is a community website, dedicated to improving language learning for school children, primarily through language exchange holidays or by paying to stay with a host family. Initially focusing on French and English, the site will soon extend to include Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and German.
Lingoo allows parents to get in contact with like-minded families who have children of the same age with the same interests and values. Families meet, get to know each other and are then able to organise language exchange holidays for their children directly without the need for an expensive agent. The site is secure and all of our families have followed a registration process with a clear protocol governing identification and security.
Lingoo also appeals to families who are interested in welcoming students from abroad into their homes as paying guests. By being a host family through Lingoo, you will be able to select a child from a like-minded family abroad and get to know them before their visit. Your role will be to help them to understand about our culture and, in the process, you and your family will gain greater knowledge about theirs. An enjoyable activity that fits perfectly with family life.
Registered users of Lingoo receive a regular monthly newsletter dedicated to language learning. If you would like to join our distribution list please click here.
