Description

Welcome to Germany!
Spend your summer discovering German culture as part of a family! Start your day with a Nutella-centric breakfast, bike through the countryside with your new friends, practice your German during afternoon walks with your host family, and experience Germany's unique blend of tradition and modernity.

Program Structure
Once you step off the plane in Hamburg, you will be met by a local coordinator and escorted to your host family. Because students and families are matched based on shared interests and not on location, you may be staying anywhere in the country. Most families live within a few hours from Hamburg. For the next weeks, you will eat, sleep, and play like the Germans do. Enjoy! Throughout your stay, you will have the support of the local coordinator.

Prerequisites
We recommend this homestay immersion program for students who have studied German for at least one year, 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.

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.
