did you enjoed you'reself with him /her????now do you keep in touch with ???

bye....kisses...

Answer 1

Yes,2 years ago my family used to host a student from Germany and I used to be an exchange student myself in US and Costa Rica. She was so quiet at first, but after couple of months..she talked like a parrot, she's 2 years younger than me and we attended same high school and went to school together everyday. I'm the only child and no brother and sister, so she was like my lil'sister. We stil keep in touch and talk like twice a week, it's great experience hosting her!

Answer 2

As a matter of fact, I'm currently hosting my 13th and just got news of my 14th for next year yesterday!

We have had four Danish students (including the one with us now), three Germans, two Swiss, two Swedes, one Finn, one Brasilian and we are expecting a Norwegian next year!

We are in touch with all but two of them ... and have visited all but one of them (we've not made it to Brasil) at least once, some of them twice. Several of them have also come back to visit us!

So, yes we've really enjoyed the experience. You have to be kind of relaxed and remember that they are teenagers! Mostly pretty typical teens too!

If you're looking to host, you should contact the counselor at your area high school for a program recommendation. If they recommend more than one, contact them all and interview them! Remember, as a prospective host family, YOU are in the driver's seat! Make sure the representative lives close by and pick the one you are the most comfortable with.

Good luck! It's a fun experience.
