Host Families

La nostra experiència familiar amb la Natalie d’Irlanda

1. Per què veu decidir acollir un Voluntary Speaker? Perquè ja havíem viscut l’experiència una vegada i va ser molt interessant. Ens va permetre practicar l’anglès i conèixer més coses sobre la cultura anglosaxona.

Entrevista amb la família d’acollida de Feidhlim d’Irlanda

Hem tingut l’oportunitat de teixir vincles, aprendre bilateralment de les nostres respectives cultures i créixer conjuntament en tots els sentits.

Voluntary Speaker

Callum from England. I love it at the school and everyone is so welcoming. The host family are spot on too!

I’ve really clicked with my host family, they've made me feel very welcome and look after me like one of their own. We’ve been out together as a family nearly every weekend.

Our April – June 2024 Voluntary Speakers have arrived!

We're absolutely thrilled to kick off our April to June program with the arrival of our wonderful Voluntary English Speakers from England, Ireland, America, and Australia in Barcelona! Huge thanks to the Vedruna Schools and amazing Host Families for the incredibly warm welcome. Let the fantastic adventures of cultural and linguistic immersion begin😊

Voluntary Speaker

John from Canada. I have absolutely no regrets joining, except that I wish I had done it sooner! I would most definitely recommend this program to others.

If you haven’t done any English teaching, as was the case with me, this is quite possibly the perfect way for you to gain confidence and skills in the classroom without a massive commitment.

Voluntary Speaker

Brooke from America. Honestly, every single day was the “best moment” for me.

My host family has become a part of my actual family. I am in love with my three host sisters. My host mom and dad treat me like I am their daughter. I have 0 complaints. I wish I could stay with them longer, as they have been nothing but kind to me throughout my stay.

Voluntary Speaker

Shaun from Ireland. My experiences in school have been nothing short of brilliant and amazing, from the teachers to students everyone has been a delight to be around.

I have absolutely 0 regrets about joining this program for so many reasons. The first one being the experience you gain from a teaching perspective is huge and if you're looking to pursue a career in teaching and aren't sure what you want to do, this is a great way to find out if you enjoy the environment. Secondly you can meet some great people and make new friends. I think what I liked most about the program is that you're not alone and can talk to the other volunteers and relate to them.
