"Homestay" and "stay home" are similar words, but their meanings are completely different.
Do you know what the difference is?
To begin with, I will explain the difference between homestay and stay home.
Additionally, I would like to inform you about the current situation of homestays in Los Angeles and whether there are any changes in homestay life while the third wave of corona is on its way.
What is the difference between homestay and stay home?
Purpose of Homestay is improving your language skills and having a cultural exchange by living with a host family.
On the other hand, Stay Home means "Let's stay at home" in English.
It's a slogan that was proposed around the spring of 2020 when the coronavirus spread began.
As you can see, the words are similar, but their meanings are completely different.
In the United States, the number of people infected with COVID-19 is uncertain, is there a host family that currently takes international students?
How do students who are already staying with host families spend their time?
Let's focus on this.
Are there any host families that are taking students?
As of November 2020, are there any host families around Los Angeles that are taking international students?
The answer is "Yes, there are !!" (^^) /
but some hosts are actively taking them.
Most prospective students haven’t come to the US yet, so even popular hosts who are usually booked for about half a year to a year have vacancies now:)
Are there any students coming in this situation?
Many language schools and colleges in Los Angeles are still offering online classes.
Meanwhile, the popular language school Mentor in Westwood has started in parson classes.
As a result, the number of new students in mentors has increased.
In addition, some language schools are scheduled to start in parson classes next year, so it is expected that the number of students will increase from next year.
Restaurants and Cafes in California restarted dine-in, and supermarkets are also open.
The shopping malls and outlets have been reopened little by little, and it has become much easier to live than when it was locked down.
Need self-quarantine for 14 days
We ask self-quarantine for 14 days to students who use our homestay services.
During self-quarantine, you will stay at a hotel or if the host family appcepts, you can stay at the host's house from the day of arriving in the US.
During self-quarantine at the host's house, you have to stay in your room for 14 days except when necessary.
You need to take a free PCR test before entering the US.
Life at homestay
Students at home stay have been keeping social distance and hand washing.
Some say that they have become accustomed to their current life, but be considerate of your host family and other guests, and take thorough corona prevention measures.
