by Oui-Connect
At Oui-Connect, we specialize in short-term homestay immersion programs that offer American teenagers the opportunity to experience life in Spain and France. Designed for participants aged 13 to 17, our programs run from June to August and last between two to four weeks. During this time, students live with volunteer host families, fully immersing themselves in the culture and language for a truly transformative experience.
Through 100% immersion, participants not only enhance their language skills but also build meaningful connections and gain a deeper understanding of daily life abroad. From the moment you register to the end of the program, our team is dedicated to providing personalized support and ensuring a seamless, enriching journey for both students and their families.

My son participated in this progam in 2026 and had an amazing experience in France. He lived with a volunteer host family and i think that makes the difference. More and more families are paid but with Oui-COnnect they find only volunteers that open their hearts and homes . They Actually care!

My daughter stayed with a host family outside of Barcelona. With the help of Oui-Connect, the experience was easy to arrange and we felt comfortable with the host family and with the program. She had so much fun. The family had two girls her age who shared similar interests as my daughter. They explored many places including the southern mountain town of Estavar in France, the Spanish beach town of Pineda de Mar, Montblanc and, of course, spent a lot of time exploring Barcelona. They took her to Tibidabo amusement park and to see a divised opera at a university in Barcelona. She had so much fun spending time with the family and learning about their culture. Her spanish improved greatly and, I'm sure she will visit the family again. We had ZERO issues and would absolutely recommend Oui-Connect.
Our daughter, Sammy, spent 3 weeks in Spain with an incredible host family who took her in as one of their own. She had a marvelous time delving into Catalan culture and the Spanish language, enjoying weekend excursions, extended family gatherings, as well as ordinary daily activities such as shopping and cooking. This was Sammy’s first trip anywhere by herself; she came home so much more confident, open and really appreciative of this opportunity and new friendships. Muchas gracias to the team at Oui-Connect for working with us to provide the best experience for Sammy!

I love the French culture and the language, but I was having a hard time speaking it even after taking French class in school. I could read it fairly well, but actually hearing someone speak it to me—and then responding—was still something I found really difficult.
