About Us

Find out more about The Association for Learning Languages En Famille (ALLEF)

ALLEF is a non-profit making organisation supported by active volunteers made up of members whose children are, or have participated, in an exchange. No salary, dividends or remuneration are paid to the company’s directors or representatives. It is a truly voluntary organisation dedicated to facilitating quality language and cultural exchanges.

We have been arranging exchanges to France and Germany since 1994. In that time we have helped over 300 students and families to have an educational, informative and, most importantly, enjoyable experience. Indeed, some of the children who have participated in exchanges have felt it was a positive, life-changing event.

Other organisations that provide similar services to ALLEF are usually run on a commercial basis to make a profit. ALLEF is different. As a voluntary organisation, we have no commercial incentives or targets to hit. All those who work for ALLEF are purely concerned with enabling families to undertake fun, exciting and safe exchanges.

Our partner organisations in France, Apprendre Les Langues En Famille , and in Germany, En Famille Deutschland e.V., share our ethos and are also voluntary, non-commercial organisations.
