An organization that offered foreign language immersion trips--I can't remember the name!

I'm looking for a particular organization. About 8 years ago, I went to Mexico for
Spanish classes and stayed with the Mexican family.

But I can't remember the name of that particular organization. I think there was some
acronym for it, but I can't remember the acronym. Seems like it started with an N.

I'm sure some Du'er out there can tell me...

I highly recommend their exchange programs and the organization itself. "Changing the world one person at a time."

and you'll get many of the organizations which offer exchange programs. Make sure programs you are looking at are provided by CSIET approved organizations.
