Dear Tandem participants and everyone who is interested
The Tandem office would like to inform that we have planned some interesting events for you! In addition to the "Sprachspielenachmittage" we offered every second week *conversation groups* in which you can discuss specific topics.
For the conversation groups everyone is welcome but it is useful if you have at least language skills in German and English at the A2/B1 level.
*The events will take place every Friday in turns from 3:30 to 5 pm in room 209. Different dates of the Italian conversation groups are below. You can find the events in the StudIP group “ Konversationsrunden”.* Just register and you will get a weekly reminder.
If the course TA241-1 (F2F German-English) is completed, you get 3 ECTS-points. If you attend the conversation rounds regularly (4 dates) you will receive another ECTS point for the course.

Italian conversation groups
The topics of the conversation groups are on the one hand aligned with the program of the current Italian courses, on the other hand they are dedicated to topics and communicative situations beyond that, which can be mastered at the respective level A1 to B1. The conversation groups are led by Italian language assistants who also support the students in the semester-long Italian courses.
