Welcome to the house of David and Estef
Hello,
We are a family of 4 members: my husband, my two children aged 10 and 12, and me.
We live in the center of Madrid. We have enjoyed several vacations in France and the USA, where I have worked and have American friends.
We have had the experience of hosting a young foreign person in our home to share our culture and language, such as "Au Pair girls" for four years with whom we still maintain a good relationship. My American friends have also sent their daughter to us on different occasions in the summer to practice Spanish and enjoy an immersion in a Spanish family.
I am interested in having my children interact with children of their age or similar ages from other nationalities for cultural enrichment.
My two children study at a French school in Madrid, so they have French vacations.
My older son likes football, roller skating, biking, and the countryside. He is happy both in the city visiting museums, the center, and attending theaters and musicals, as well as in the countryside, and he has experienced both, as we live in the city, but sometimes we go to the village in the Sierra de Madrid.
My son also enjoys his school life very much, football, music, and classics; his favorite is the Jackson Five. Since he was little, he has been going to music school and plays the viola. He is very sociable and always likes to make friends. He also enjoys biology and exploring in the field and with animals, but we don’t have a pet. He also loves discovering places in Spain and abroad. That’s why we like the idea of hosting children or young people with the same interests in learning and discovering different places and cultures.
We enjoy exploring the city of Madrid by visiting museums, exhibitions, theaters, restaurants, and walking in the city's large parks. When we go to the village, we are in nature to go to the mountains, have picnics, ride bikes, go swimming in the summer, etc. We go to the Sierra de Madrid because it is spectacular, and we are close to monumental cities like Segovia, Ávila, or Toledo. We also like to travel and get to know other places.
During Christmas, we enjoy touring the city of Madrid on the special Christmas bus to see the lights. It is impressive. We also visit Christmas markets. During Holy Week, we like to try typical food and visit cities that celebrate Holy Week because they are full of Spanish culture at that time combined with nice weather.
We can receive a child starting from 8. We can host two people if they are family. We only have one guest bedroom available.
There will be no other guests.
The weekend sometimes when we stay in Madrid, we usually go out biking, roller skating, or playing soccer in the morning. In the afternoon, we meet with friends who have children of the same age and we spend the afternoon or day together in the countryside or in the city. We go to the center of Madrid, to the cinema, to museums, music or theater performances, exhibitions in museums, shopping in the center, restaurants, etc.
Other weekends we go to the house in the village, there, in the countryside we walk in the mountains, try local typical products, enjoy nature, animals... It is a pleasure to be able to have two ways to enjoy free time in such a short distance in Madrid.
Mon fils a réalisé un séjour linguistique du 21 décembre au 5 janvier, Il a passé deux semaines formidables : les cours d'espagnol étaient enrichissants, et j'ai constaté qu'il avait fait de grands progrès dans la langue ! Je souhaite également exprimer ma gratitude envers Estefania, qui a su gérer avec efficacité le décalage de son vol retour. Sa prise en charge attentive et son dévouement ont été exemplaires. Je la remercie sincèrement pour tout le soin apporté à l'accueil et au bien-être de noon fils.
Nous avons eu une expérience exceptionnelle avec la famille d'Estefania qui a accueilli notre fils de 14 ans en immersion totale, grâce à Linguifamily. Estefania, la maman, a su préparer un programme parfaitement équilibré, avec des sessions d’apprentissage le matin (tant à l’écrit qu’à l’oral) et des après-midis remplis de visites culturelles fascinantes pour une découverte approfondie de Madrid. Notre fils s’est très bien entendu avec leurs deux enfants et a participé avec enthousiasme aux nombreuses activités qu’ils ont faites ensemble. Comme nous lui avions mentionné notre intérêt pour la gastronomie, Estefania a également pris soin de lui faire découvrir les spécialités culinaires madrilènes, ce qui a été un vrai régal pour lui ! Au-delà des magnifiques souvenirs, notre fils a considérablement progressé en espagnol et se sent aujourd’hui bien plus à l’aise, tant à l’écrit qu’à l’oral. Cette semaine d’immersion a été particulièrement enrichissante et mémorable pour lui. Nous remercions chaleureusement toute la famille pour leur accueil exceptionnel et l'expérience incroyable qu'ils ont offerte à notre fils. Un grand merci pour cette belle aventure !
