Our Tandem System

It all starts with reaching out!
Our tandem system is designed to enable you to improve your language skills also outside the classroom! As we know, immersing yourself in a foreign environment is the best way of learning a language. Here you have the opportunity to meet with other passionate language learners, have fun discussions, explore their view of the world and improve your skills at the same time.

Learn more about how it works and how to register here!

How the Tandem System works

  • Please indicate the language(s) you are fluent in and the language you wish to practice in the form below. If you wish to find language buddies for multiple languages, kindly fill out the form separately for each language you want to practice.

  • No worries if you still struggle to find the right words in the language you want to improve! Language learning is a long process and making mistakes will help you advance. However, be aware that a language buddy is not a language teacher and that they may not be ready or able to teach you a language in which you don't have any prior knowledge. 

  • We will do our best to match you with a suitable language partner and introduce you to each other via email. From there, it will be up to you to arrange your meetings.

  • We recommend meeting at least once a week. Be free to be creative and meet at different spots, try new activities together and practice your languages in various settings! Also, we encourage you to take advantage of the various events, we will offer to our tandem system participants during the semester. If you are not available to meet in person, please indicate this in the form below. We will try to match you with someone who is also interested in meeting online. 

  • To ensure satisfaction with our tandem program and continuously improve it, we will send out a feedback form twice per semester. This feedback will also help you reflect on your tandem experience, your progress, and areas for growth.

  • Should you encounter any problems or questions, please visit the Tandem System section on our website and inform us about your concerns via the form. We will make sure to respond in time.

  • Should you be interested in learning French, or if you are fluent in French, please refer to the Tandem System by AMEF.
