Important: language spoken in the family

Most of the families want to have a demipair because they want their children to learn and practice a foreign language. The language studied in most schools in Spain is English so there's a big demand of English speakers. In some schools they also learn French and German but not in many.

They know that the aim of the programme for the Demipair is to learn and practice Spanish so they will make sure that there's a lot of time of speaking Spanish at home. It is normally arranged that the Demi pair will speak English or another language with the kids and Spanish with the parents.

Families will be happy to have non-native English speakers as far as they have a good level of English, enough to speak to the children in English and help with English homework.

To ensure that the English level is good we ask our interested Demipairs to take an English level test online.
