[quote=Anonymous]I do the same for my native language.

I go to the country for 4 weeks in the summer, I can telework so that makes it easy. My kids are elementary school age, so I don’t feel comfortable sending them overseas without me. We go to Latin America so the kids usually go for two weeks of camp in July all their kids are in winter break and we travel the rest of the time.

Here are some the tips I would give you if you’re interested in doing something similar with your kids.

First find a nice school in the city you want to go to and sign up for their summer camp and then Find a rental next to the school.

Otherthings to consider. 
One, in Latin America the kids have summer in December and January they usually only have a small winter break in July. In Europe most kids are off at the end of June through September, I would look for camps in July as most people take their vacation in August. If you do plan to work while the kids are in summer camp, please note that they have a different time zone.

Two, I would recommend only signing up for two weeks of first year to make sure that the kids like the school  and you like the city.

Three, make sure you have enough time to set up yourself before camp starts and take some additional leave at the end to travel around.

Another way to have your kids emerge in the language, is to go to the country and stay at a hotel that has a kids club. In Europe most kids speak English also so that might not work as well. However in Latin America most kids are not fluent in English so your kids will be forced to speak Spanish. Go to a hotel in the countryside so that the chances of having tourist is smaller.[/quote]
