[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is all super helpful information. I hear families saying it was a great experience - yay! I’m also sort of hearing that it wasn’t maybe *fun* for the kids? Lots and lots of work and commuting and not enough time to explore? The no handholding is fine for my son, but I would hope the experience would be fun!?[/quote] I can only speak for my kid's experience. There were some fun moments, but wouldn't describe the overall experience as fun. Language education is the primary objective and kids have tons of work. The days are long and it's intense. My kid is very independent, had prior language experience and usually petty easy-going. I think they would have had more 'fun' and would have enjoyed the host family experience more if they had less homework and had more free time to explore and learn organically. But this is not that type of program. [/quote]
