 > Welcome to LEX > Hello!

Hello!

Like a baby learning from his mother, we learn different languages simultaneously in a natural way.
Human beings naturally learn the language of the country they were born in.

People who grew up in a country speaking only one language will naturally learn that language,
whereas persons who were born in a multilingual environment will be able to speak several languages naturally
without a special "study".

Everyone has this capability and the languages one can speak depends on under
what kind of environment he or she grew up in.

That's why we, LEX (The Institute for Language Excursion and Exchange) Youth Korea, established
a multilingual environment in Korea.

Listening to CDs recorded in English, Japanese, Chinese, Russian, Spanish, French and Korean,
we are able to learn several languages step by step, just like a baby repeating his/her mother's words.

To learn different languages in a method of learning like a mother tongue
that’s totally different from the one we grew up with,
we provide an environment for foreign languages to be heard like learning a native language naturally and thereby,
get a good command of it in the future.

The language learned this way becomes the most important tool in communicating with other people.

With languages learned from this natural multilingual environment and intimately,
LEX, provides mutual international free home-stay
in the unit of families and/or teenagers.

Through LEX's home-stay program,
members can overcome language barriers,
directly experience culture,
custom and family life.

Ultimately the goal is to enhance understanding of
different families. We try our best to develop
understanding in a worldwide stage.

LEX is a non-commercial organization
under the Juvenile Division, Ministry of Gender  Equality & Family.

Homestay

Foreigners visiting Korea for a short time can avail of a free home-stay at a members house with the payment of the
placement fee.

The home-stay program of LEX is an international exchange program where everybody opens their minds and become
friends with other people, overcoming different culture, custom and language barriers. Living together with the host
family and not as a guest from another country but as a family member, LEX Family provides a venue for understanding
that everyone is equal and the same, and experience their values and tradition more intimately, unlike pass-by group
tours. It is a program to make a new family member or close friends learning lots of valuable experiences through
home-stay, which is totally different from the pass-by group tours.

The most important thing for applicants of international exchange home-stay program or for hosting foreign visitors is
not fluency in languages but open-mindedness and a smiling, welcoming heart.

Foreigners will remember their experience shared with a Korean family as an unforgettable souvenir, while hosts will
have a good opportunity to accumulate an international sense and understanding as a global family as well as
understanding the culture and custom of different countries.

The Home-Stay program of LEX is as important an international exchange program as a civil diplomatic mission.
