Description

Welcome to France!
Spend your summer immersed in the beautiful French language and culture! Start your day with a delicious cafe au lait, discover your French hometown with your new friends, and develop a nice French accent through animated conversations with your host family!

Program Structure
You can choose your own dates and stay for three to four weeks. Once you step off the plane in France, you will be met by a local program representative and escorted to your host family. For the next weeks, you will eat, sleep, and play like the French do. Enjoy experiencing the French culture from the inside! Because students and families are matched based on shared interests and not on location, you may be staying anywhere in the country. Throughout your stay, you will have the support of the local coordinator.

Prerequisites
We recommend this homestay immersion program for students who have studied French for at least three years, who really want to use and improve their language skills, and who feel ready to dive in to a different lifestyle and culture. You won't spend a lot of time with other American students, and you should not expect to do a lot of traveling. If you prefer a program that offers language classes and organized group activities, take a look at our homestay study program in Paris!

Student Feedback
I loved the program and my host family. ANDEO was very well organized, and
I felt assured of all the details of my trip. And I enjoyed the feeling that I was improving rapidly in French!

Andeo-International Homestays's Mission Statement

Andeo (pronounced Ahn-DAY-oh) is not a word we took from another language or an acronym. Our name is a way of making communication between the people from different places and cultures in our network a little easier. No matter what your native tongue is, you won't find it difficult to talk about Andeo. Our name is a small, but important piece in our mission to foster cross-cultural friendship and understanding through homestay exchange programs.
