Students with an interest in improving their foreign language skills can register for the language tandem program which is organized by 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. You can still take part in the Language Tandem project to meet a Danish student, experience the culture, get to know the city better and learn some basic phrases.
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.
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.
The next Kick-Off Event will take place in the middle of march with the exact date to be announced as soon as possible.
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 .
We expect the next application round to open in February.
If you signed up last year, you are more than welcome to sign up again.
If you have any questions about the language tandem or the registration you can contact
