Language learning tandem
Language learning in tandem is a form of autonomous and intercultural learning. Language learning tandems offer the opportunity to improve your foreign language skills in contact with first language speakers and gain intercultural insights at the same time. You can also choose topics in your own area of interest and work on specific skills.
After a successful placement, the tandem pairs meet at a place and time of their choice. Each meeting lasts 90 minutes, with 45 minutes in one language and then 45 minutes in the other. You will meet at least five times in total.
Upon successful completion and submission of the assignments from the five tandem sessions, you have the opportunity to receive a tandem certificate of participation. During the semester, the Language Center also offers consultation appointments, optional materials and rooms.
