Can we do languages courses while being an Aupair
It's better to do the language courses while being an Aupair.
Hi Duasha,
in most host countries, participating in a language course while you are an au pair is not only recommended, but more or less mandatory!
In Germany it's e.g. made very clear that the host family has to plan your working hours in a way that you can attend a language class (which can sometimes be tricky, if classes take place at hours when the family would need you...). They also have to pay 50 EUR on top of the pocket money for your language class, but I know some families who even take over the full cost.
As improving the language skill is a substantial part of being an au pair, we recommend you already clarify during the application process which language courses are available and which you can attend. See also our FAQ about this
