Welcome to Our Language Exchange Network!
Join us in connecting Madrid families with English-speaking university students for a unique cultural and linguistic experience. This program offers families the chance to improve their English through engaging conversations and shared activities with students.
By inviting an international student into your home, you'll create a welcoming environment while immersing yourself and your family in the English language, making learning fun and interactive.
Enhance Your Madrid Experience While Helping Local Children Learn English!
Looking for a rewarding experience in Madrid? Want to help Spanish children boost their English skills?
Our project pairs families with native English speakers or bilingual students who engage with children through play and conversation, improving their listening and speaking abilities among others.
Students work with kids aged 4 to 16, focusing on age-appropriate activities. For younger children, we use games and songs to teach basic English. For older kids and teens, we reinforce speaking skills and assist with homework.
Students earn €15 per hour for their time at the family’s home, covering travel and expenses.
