宿泊施設

カナダで英語を勉強している間、良い環境に住むことは大変重要な事です。 インリングア・バンクーバーでは、留学生へホームステイとルーミングの二つをご紹介しています。どちらも安全で便利です。

カナダ・バンクーバーでカナディアンと一緒に暮らす事は大変良いアイデアです。ホームステイやルーミングは、友達作りや街を知るのにとても良い方法です。

ホームステイ

ホームステイはカナディアンと衣食住を共にし、カナダでの語学経験の基礎の一部になります。

生徒の快適、有益な滞在を保証する為に、当校ではバンクーバーの生徒の宿泊施設を専門にアレンジするプロフェショナルな会社と提携しています。

これらの会社は、バンクーバー、ノース・バンクーバー、ウエスト・バンクーバー、バーナビー等に素晴らしいホストファミリーと提携しています。どの宿泊先もバンクーバーのダウンタウンから40分以内の位置にあります。

Here are some extracts from our main Homestay Provider's Student Manual:

Home-Sweet-Homestayにおいて

ホームステイ経験は語学や文化を学ぶのに全てを可能にします！ ホームステイはただの宿泊施設ではありません: we want our students integrating and involving themselves with their Canadian hosts, to get the most out of the Homestay and language learning experience. 自分の家のように心地良い所で、あなたにとってこのホームステイが海外経験の重要なポイントになるでしょう。 ホストファミリーはあなたと同槿に、あなたの国やあなた自身に興味があり学んでいます。 HSHコーディネーターは、ホームステイについてなら何時でも、何でもアドバイスし、相談にのります。

HSHのファミリーは何が違うのか？

HSHは心からホームステイに興味があり、歓迎し、またあなたの国の文化やあなたがどんな人なのか学んでいるファミリーのみと提携しています。 HSHは学校から40分以内に位置し、英語を母国語とするフレンドリーなファミリーであることを保証します。あなたと同み母国語を話す生徒、また四人以上の生徒が一緒になることはありません。一つのホームステイに対して、１，２人の生徒が平均です。私たちのファミリーは"open fridge"ポリシーを持っています。なのでお腹が空いたら何時でも自分で食事を用意することもできます。公園やビーチへの散歩やピクニックなどのう週末のイベントに参加するのも自由です - あなたの家族なのですから！

How do we do it?

HSH only uses families who take a genuine joy and interest in doing Homestay; in learning about you: your culture, your interests, and who you are. Our Coordinators have one criterion when visiting a potential Homestay applying to our program: "would you want your son/daughter to stay in this Homestay for a month?" Homestay has to be good enough for our own families if it's to be good enough for you.

Your family will provide you three meals a day (our "open fridge" policy means you can snack anytime you like) a comfortable private ro盻m with a desk and study lamp (in addition to the usual bedroom furniture), towels, and linens. You'll be impressed by the friendliness and warmth Canadians have become renown for. Your personal HSH Coordinator is there for you from start to finish and always available to make sure you are enjoying your Homestay experience to its fullest.

HSH is the only company in Canada that guarantees your Homestay family is 100% fluent in English, as their native language.

HSH families are selected extremely carefully; less than ? of interviewed families are finally chosen for our program.

In a nutshell

• A friendly, safe, and warm environment
• A Canadian family you can learn English from
• A comfortable room with bed, desk, closet, and window
• Three healthy meals per day, plus snack anytime
• Use of laundry, telephone, TV, and stereo (long distance calls must be made with phone card)
• Reception and Drop-off at the airport (option)

ルーミング

Private Rooms in houses or apartments out of the downtown area are also available. This is an excellent option if you are looking for more privacy or those who wish to live with other Canadians without the constraints of Homestay. Rooms are available in several areas of the city, most within 30 minutes of downtown. Rooms may be shared or single usually with a communal kitchen area for food preparation, a living room and either a shared or private washroom. This option does not includ盻 meals / board.

Because it does not include meals, its price is lower than Homestay. Students must make a budget for food preparation and eating out in restaurants.

ダウンタウンのアパート

Some students prefer to live in apartments in downtown Vancouver. They usually rent a furnished place with 2 or 3 students who are staying in Vancouver around the same time and dates. They share all expenses and responsibility for the furniture, appliances and bills. Students themselves find these apartments. Inlingua does not get involved in any arrangement and can not guarantee anything.

Staying at a Homestay or Rooming will provide you with 盻 nice and convenient place to temporarily live if you plan to share an apartment in downtown with other students. So for 1 month or two while you look for your independent apartment, you can learn of Canadian culture and practice your English by living in a Homestay or Rooming.
