Tandem programme
Together to the finish line
In a tandem program, native speakers of different languages help each other to improve their language skills. If you for example want to learn Spanish, you meet a Spaniard who wants to improve his/her English language skills. Talking to a tandem partner is a great way for both of you to round off your existing knowledge.
To find a tandem partner please contact us with information about your native language and the language you would like to learn. We match students who want to pass on their language knowledge and seek support in return. A Win-Win situation: Students are able to help each other learn while making new friends along the way.
Participating in a tandem program, allows you not only to exchange knowledge, but also strengthen your intercultural and communication skills. A big advantage of this learning method is that you can learn outside of class. You can meet with your tandem partner in a café, restaurants, museums, etc. This improves your listening comprehension and language skills. Additionally, the relaxed atmosphere stimulates the process and helps learners to apply their language skills in real life.
We are happy to be there for you.
