HOSTS

Host: Felipe Gonzalez, Barcelona, Spain

Are you studying a new language and need to opportunity to practice speaking?

What could be better than practicing a language with native speakers in the comfort of your own home? It's proven that a good command of a language comes from practicing, over and over again. Real conversations with natives, immersing yourself in a language and hearing/reading the words that native people use, will best bridge the gap between an average speaker and an expert. It is experience that makes the difference. Hovos offers you this possibility by sending travelers right to your door, in exchange for meals and accommodation.

Learning new languages means growing and developing as an individual. It gives you the opportunity to express yourself and perhaps even more importantly, to understand others. Our travelers can help you open up a whole new world.
