Their studies may take anywhere from two to six or more years to complete, yet even during this amount of time, most will never be invited into a German home.  <br \/>They sometimes feel lonely and homesick, and because of the investment required for them to study here, many also feel a lot of pressure to succeed.

Some hosts will include students in a traditional family gathering, others will plan a special meal for their student guests. They may serve traditional German holiday foods or they may serve foods from their own ethnic traditions.  <br \/>During registration, students are asked for information regarding any dietary restrictions they may have; this information is communicated to the hosts so that they can accommodate their students\u2019 preferences. <br \/>After the meal, you may invite your student guest to play games, walk in the neighbourhood or simply continue to talk and learn about one another. Most of the students speak English, but some speak German or both. If you have a preference between English or German, make sure to mention it on your registration. <\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=&#8221;Is there a cost?&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.5&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; open=&#8221;off&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>No, there is no cost for FriendsForDinner apart from what you spend purchasing for your meal.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.19.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_layout=&#8221;dark&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;50px||||false|false&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>You have still questions?
