Language Café Bochum

On 17.04.2023 the Language Café Bochum will start again - in the summer semester 2023 completely in presence!

Different settings
There are several different forms of learning in tandem partnerships at the RUB:
- In a face-to-face-tandem the tandem language partners individually arrange a time and day to work together.
- In group tandem courses up to 25 tandem language partners meet daily for two to three weeks as a part of a group. Group tandem courses are part of the courses regularly offered at the ZFA and are organized in cooperation with other universities.
- The eTandem provides the opportunity to learn with learners via email (non-simultaneous communication) or via chat, messenger or Skype (simultaneous communication) - individually or in groups (group eTandem courses).
More information about all group (e)Tandem courses at the ZFA you find here.
