You can expect to make faster progress on a Homelingua 1-1 English Homestay course than on a group course in a language school. As you are living in the home of your teacher, you also have the advantage of being totally immersed in the language outside of lesson times which means you can use the English that you have practised during the lesson.
The information below is a guideline to the progress that you might make on a Homestay English course. The pace at which you make improvement will depend on many factors such as the length of your course and your current English level. Your willingness and ability to practice and use the language is also extremely important!
