In addition to the Professional Tandems, the ENHANCE Alliance also offers the ENHANCE Language Tandem programme – a friendly, informal way to practise and improve your foreign language skills with native speakers from partner universities. Participants are matched in pairs and exchange their languages through conversation, typically online. It’s a great opportunity to develop intercultural understanding, build confidence in speaking, and make new international connections.
