Pacific Language and Cultural Exchange

The PLACE Seattle specializes in homestays, cultural exchange tours, and hosting international students. Contact us to inquire about online or in-person tutoring.

Homestays

What’s the best way to learn English? Living with a host family! This is an excellent way to learn about American culture and practice your English.  In a homestay, a host family provides a private, furnished room and three meals daily. You will have a unique cultural experience in a comfortable and friendly atmosphere. Other accommodations, including apartments or hotels, can be arranged.

Cultural Exchange Tours

This is a great way to experience Seattle and practice your English at the same time. There are many options. You can study three hours of English each day, for example, and tour Seattle in the afternoons. Enjoy a variety of activities and sights, such as Pike Place Market, T-Mobile Park, the Space Needle, Mt. Rainier, the Seattle Art Museum, and Museum of Pop Culture, just to name a few. You may choose your own activities depending on your interests.

Become a Host

The PLACE is seeking families, single parents, retired couples, and singles to host international students. Families must be open to other cultures and interested in the well-being of students. Hosting international students is an excellent way to build bridges in communication, understanding, and mutual respect with people from various ethnic backgrounds.
