LEOlingo Sprachcamps für Kinder
LEOlingo Sprachcamps für Kinder offers children and teenagers, aged between 7 and 17
years old, “language holidays” in English, French and Spanish. Counselors will be

conversation skills. They are searching native speakers as language counselors during
the German summer break. Applicants don’t need to speak German but it would be
helpful. Non EU-citizens require a work permit or a "work-and-travel-visa" which they
can apply for at the German embassy of their home country (US-citizens: it takes up to
15
