I am looking for host families now so I can ensure we have the right student for your family! Message for more information on one of these or many students still waiting for a host family to choose them.

We had a host family fall through for Anatoli. Great kid who is just right for a family who loves photography📸📷📸📷📸

Dear Future Host Family,

As you have already guessed my name is Anatoli. I am looking forward to meeting you all. It would be great if you have children my age and younger. It is my dream to have a pet and I would be very happy if you had one too.

I have been studying English for 7 years but in the last few years I began to learn it in depth. Also I’m studying French and I have already been to France when I was a student in the international French college in Montpellier. Currently I am taking English courses in a group, with my tutor and I learn it by myself too. Naturally,I have many notebooks where I keep my translated songs of English-speaking music bands. From time to time these texts are really helpful. Songs can show me useful phrases which I could use. Every year I take Cambridge exams. I have already passed English and French B1 Intermediate exams.

I want you to know that I am not in it for education only, it’s also an opportunity which will enable me to understand your culture better. For me spending 10 months in the USA sounds like an adventure.

By the way I love all types of adventure. I have travelled a lot and I enjoy hiking trips. Hiking in the mountains is exciting but it is for tough people. You need to walk many kilometres with a heavy backpack. It can take a whole day to get to the nice place for camping. During the hard day you can take photos .

I am sure that in your country I will understand English much better and might learn it as a native speaker. At school I am always a top student that is why I feel confident that I will do my best in American high school too. I believe English language is the key to learning about the world and making new friends from different cultures.

I hope to see you in the near future,

Sincerely yours,
Anatoli
