    Evakona believes that being welcomed into a warm family as soon as international students arrive is the key to a successful study abroad experience. Evakona's experienced homestay coordinators carefully select homestays that match the individual needs of each international student based on the information provided in their profiles (such as hobbies and health-related needs).

  • Feature03 Homestay is a shortcut to improving English skills

    A homestay is more than just a place to stay.
    It’s a unique experience where you are welcomed as part of a local family and build meaningful connections.
    Daily conversations at the dinner table, casual chats after school, and weekend outings all create an environment where you are naturally immersed in English, helping your language skills grow.
    Beyond language, you’ll encounter expressions, cultures, and values that can’t be learned from textbooks. It’s a chance to develop not only communication skills, but also genuine human connections.
    A homestay is not just a shortcut to improving English—it’s an invaluable experience that leads to lifelong memories and relationships.
