ESLStay offers 3 programs: 1) The Basic Homestay
2) Homestay Plus English
Instruction/Sightseeing
The
Basic Homestay includes room, 3 meals and snacks. The Basic Homestay guest has a plan for the
week(s) in Seattle and is mostly on his/her own during the day. Of course, you are welcome and encouraged to
join your hosts for regular household meals, activities, errands and
recreation. Gini works at Seattle
Central Community College near the downtown area, so you may want to ‘hitch a
ride’ downtown in the morning and/or come home with her in the afternoon. There will be time to chat so that you can
practice English in the context of daily life.

Homestay Plus English
Instruction/Sightseeing includes the basic homestay plus your
choice of 15 hours of English instruction and/or sightseeing. You can choose to study for all of the 15
hours, or go sightseeing for 15 hours or combine both English instruction and
sightseeing. Gini will work at the College
in the morning Monday through Friday and be ready to join her guest(s) at noon
for English and sightseeing. Your week
might include 6 – 8 hours of sightseeing and 7 – 9 hours of English, for
example.
