We told our host family we liked certain biscuits and our host mother got them on the same day even though it was already pretty late. She also talked a lot with us and the cats were very friendly too.

The stay at a host family helped me to improve my listening skills a lot and to keep a conversation going in English.

While I stayed with my host family they took good care of me. They treated me like I already belonged to the family and during the stay I felt comfortable and at home.
