Learning languages in tandem

The idea 

Two native speakers from different countries get together and teach each other the language and culture of their respective homelands. All it takes is a little time and perseverance once you have agreed on how often you want to work together or do something together.

The offer 

With its numerous international students, Brandenburg University of Applied Sciences offers great potential for foreign languages and thus a wide range of possible tandem partnerships. The Language Centre brings together people interested in languages and helps them to create learning plans and realistic learning goals.

That little bit extra

Most tandem projects fail not because of a lack of will, but because of a lack of discipline. To strengthen this a little, enthusiastic tandem participants receive a certificate upon presentation of a comprehensible learning diary.  Questions and details can also be discussed with Dr Kitsche at the Language Centre.

Tips

You will find a wealth of inspiration on the  tandem server of the Ruhr University Bochum.
As part of its Seagull Tandem programme, the University of Greifswald offers free materials for tandem learners in various languages.
