I think Rotary is a great program, though I do not have direct experience with it. My daughter went with YFU, but Rotary is less expensive than YFU/AFS. I agree with devushka that there is no substitute for full cultural immersion. It is more of a challenge for the student to live with a host family and attend a local school where teaching is in another language, but in the end the rewards are greater, especially because of the emotional bonds formed with host family and friends.
