Rebekka Schafer GERMANY	The host mother I am staying with has welcomed me very warmly. I feel integrated in her life. We love to spend the evening together while chatting, playing cards with friends and, above all, enjoying the specialties of the Quebecois cuisine. I can plan my free time as I want, but if I need help, she is always there for me.
Gianina Dugand COLOMBIA	My experience has been unforgettable. I left home for a place I didn’t know. “What if the people think I am strange?” But I never felt out of place. My homestay mother has treated me like part of the family from day 1! I learned about my family’s culture and language. In the 8 months I have been here, the teachers became my friends and the students became teachers of their culture. Montreal is full of movement and color. It is alive with an uncontrollable spirit. I am so glad I came and for anyone who decides to learn English and/or French, I highly recommend ILSC Montreal.
Jae-Ho Lim KOREA	“Homestay with happiness” In my case, I get stability from my homestay. It’s like a real home. My homestay mom is like a real mom. She always wants me to feel at home. We always talk about my problems. If I have any problems, she tries to solve them. So, I’m living in happiness. In my case, I get stability from my homestay. It’s like a real home.

Olivier Frei SWITZERLAND	I like to stay in my homestay family. I’m well-integrated in the family. I can practice my French at home and get to know the Canadian culture. I can concentrate on my language-learning without being preoccupied about anything else.
Edward Mornin CANADA	A major advantage for me when I was studying for two weeks at the ILSC in Montreal was that I could participate in the school’s homestay program. It is true that my homestay family lived rather far from school, in East Montreal, but this was the only drawback. I felt very much at home with my family, a mother and father with three grown children (and two grandchildren) who stopped by to visit often and were very open, friendly and talkative. I always had someone to talk to! My homestay mother was very thoughtful and a great cook. In two weeks, I had a different menu for dinner every single night! I intend to maintain contact with such warm and kindly people.
