Thursdays, 9 October to 11 December, 2025 | 12:00–12:50 CET | Online via Zoom | Poster

Do you speak Polish, Russian, Czech, Ukrainian, Croatian, or another Slavic language at B1 level or higher? Then you are warmly invited to join the Slavic Language Café, taking place every Thursday from 9 October to 11 December.

NEW: Language Café for Slavic Languages: We’re excited to expand our multilingual Language Café offerings! In addition to the Romance Language Café, we now also organise a café for Slavic languages. This online café brings together language enthusiasts from across Europe. Participants speak different Slavic languages — one person might speak Polish, another Russian and another Czech — and switching between languages is not only permitted, it is welcomed! Thanks to the similarities between Slavic languages, mutual understanding is possible. This creates a vibrant, multilingual environment in which you can put your language skills into practice and discover new or related languages.

So, whether you want to practise your skills, explore new languages or simply want to find out how mutual understanding works, join us for this unique plurilingual experience!

You will learn how to express yourself clearly and understandably, particularly when communicating with people who don’t speak your language. Helpful strategies include:

• Speaking slowly and clearly
• Repeating and rephrasing information
• Using words that are transparent across Slavic languages
• Using gestures and facial expressions
• …
