I thought it could be a great idea to swap kids within LL for summer, free of
charge, for language learning/training purposes. :)<br>
What do the other Lowlanders think?<br>

That does sound basically like a great idea. It could even be extended to adults,
in a sort of swapping program of hosting and teaching, with the understanding that
only the hosts’ language be used for a given duration.<br>
<br>
But, of course, this would require Lowlands-L members to take advantage of their
networking opportunities more than most of them do now. <br>
<br>
And there would be international legal issues, such as those related to contract
and safety (to filter out the baddies, not that we should have too many of those),
which <i>you </i>could address better than most of the rest of us.<br>
