Tandem learning

Drawing of a gal and a gentleman chatting

Tandem language learning is a tried and tested method which enables you to improve your language skills in an independent and informal way.

This is how it works: you offer your own language skills (ideally in your native language) and in exchange you get the chance to learn the language of your tandem partner. You should arrange with your tandem partner to meet up once a week for about an hour and a half and practise both languages at each session.

The Language Centre will help you find a suitable tandem partner. Register using one of the links below and complete the form. You will find all the information on this same link.

Please note your registration is valid for the current academic semester only.
