Daniela Commodari, Italy

My name is Daniela and when I decided to try an English language homestay in August 2011, I contacted many language companies, both English and Italian.

I chose Live and Learn Homestays because its proposal had the better price, many agreed excursions per week and the possibility of having a certificate of attendance - this was better than the other companies.

I'm sure that my experience rates 10 out of 10, because it was a great experience for me and my language has improved with my teacher's help.

Before my homestay course, I made many mistakes in English speaking; during that period my teacher corrected me every time that I made a mistake so I could learn and improve every day.

The additional benefits had been the professionalism of the service and the possibility of choosing the family.

In fact, the most important benefit is Lorna's professionalism as everything that she offered in her proposal really happened.

My advice is to rely on Lorna and to choose a family like the Garners!

I'd like to teach the world to speak - with Brummie accents

Europeans often choose English as their second language - and one Handsworth Wood entrepreneur has given up her career at a children's centre to tap into the world's desire to learn our lingo.

Whenever I return from my holidays, I always feel a little guilty. Not because of the week of indulgence, lazing around or even the damage I have inadvertently caused to the ozone layer. But always because of my inability to speak a foreign language.
