Language Tandem Project
Dear foreign friends,
Tired of studying grammar in the class? Eager to practice your language skills in a relaxed atmosphere?
Our Language tandem project is the best choice for you.
Tandem language learning is a method of language learning based on mutual language exchange between tandem partners. In a language-tandem, two students with different native languages communicate together as a pair in order to learn each other’s languages and to learn more about the other person and his or her culture. There is no schedule or strict rules. You can meet whenever and wherever you want, you can talk about books you have read or films you have watched, food you like, countries you’ve visited. The main objective is to speak both languages so that both partners can practice their language skills.
During your stay at the Institute you can fill in the form in the hall to find your Russian language friend. If You would like us to provide our Russian students with your contact information after your departure, please fill in an electronic form following this link:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ii302xLzIdxmXE7_FjOxERZeL1ZltY7IbM2I8Cow_gk/edit?usp=sharing
You can also correct information about you or delete your contact phone number from the list at any time.
In case of any questions please ask our social program coordinator Maria Karepanova: social@derzhavin.com
Thanks!
