Learning a language “in tandem” means practicing a foreign language one-on-one with a native speaker.
As a tandem partner, not only do you gain inside information about your partner’s culture and home country, but you have the chance to experiment and practice your language skills in authentic communication situations.
For more information and registration details, visit the Tandem Programme website. If you have any questions, suggestions or problems, please contact tandem[at]uni-weimar.de
