Circle U. Language Tandem

Students with an interest in improving their foreign language skills can register for the language tandem program which is organized jointly by Studenterhus Aarhus and  the International Center as part of the Circle U. alliance. With this project we will try to connect you to a partner who is a native speaker in the language you want to improve and who is interested in learning your native language. In this way you can both improve your language skills. Further, you will get to know fellow students, expand your network, share your culture, and help another student. 

For all international students it is important to know that you do not necessarily have to be able to speak Danish, but we expect you to be interested in learning it. You can take part in the Language Tandem project to meet a Danish student, experience the culture, get to know the city better and start learning some basic Danish. 

How it works

We will invite you to a match day, where you can get to know your assigned partner.

After that a language tandem is uncomplicated: Together with your tandem partner, you agree when, where and how often you want to meet. You can also decide for yourself which topics you would like to discuss with your tandem partner. This allows you to be largely flexible and to improve your language skills matching your fields of interest. 

Kick-Off Event

At our Kick-Off Event you will get to know your assigned language tandem partner. We cannot promise a match for you, but will do our best to find one.

An expert from the language center that teaches Danish to international students will be there to guide you on how to get started. You will receive tips and tricks on how to make the most of your tandem experience.

The next Kick-Off Event will take place on 18 March from 17.00 - 18.30 at Studenterhus Aarhus.   

Registration deadline 6 March

By filling out our sign up form, you can register for the language tandem project and hopefully meet your partner at our Kick-Off-Event on 18 March at 17.00.
