Only It is highly recommended that students take advantage of homestays in order to practice what they learn in class with their family at home, and to integrate themselves into the Brazilian culture. For this reason, virtually all students stay with one of Bridge-Linguatec's host families. Accommodation includes breakfast and dinner during the week and also lunch on the weekend. Bridge-Linguatec has many different types of host families and they try to select the best match for each student.
All host families are middle-class and live in homes and areas that are attractive.
Many are single parent families. The ages of children in the families range from a few years old to adults. Some homestays are without children. Distances from Bridge-Linguatec vary from a few minutes walk to a 30 minute bus ride. Students have their own rooms and sometimes a private bathroom also.
