School description

Learn Swedish & live in your private teacher's home around Gothenburg with Home Language International!

Home Language International (HLI) is a family-run business offering language courses in more than 20 languages in over 30 countries worldwide, including Swedish lessons at an experienced private teacher's home in Sweden. More than 5,000 students take advantage of our services every year. Ian Josephs, Danielle Josephs, their 5 adult children and an expert team of dedicated staff all put in very long hours for HLI.

You stay in an experienced teacher's family home, have one-to-one Swedish lessons and then continue to use the language during the rest of your stay in Gothenburg. Because you are the only student, you are guaranteed individual attention. The lessons are completely designed for you, so the teacher will focus exactly on what you need. Mealtime conversation, television and social contacts are all in Swedish.

All of our teachers in Sweden have a university degree (or equivalent) and/or a recognised teaching certificate. All teachers have been visited by one of our local organisers. Their qualifications have been checked and their homes throughly inspected. During your stay in Gothenburg, a local organiser will monitor your progress and make sure your experience is both happy and successful.

Home Language International (HLI) is accredited by the Accreditation Body for Language Services (ABLS), Association of Language Travel Organisations (ALTO), and UNOSEL.
