Offers within the CIVIS University Alliance
Language Learning with CIVIS
Online language learning tandems and language cafés for staff and students
The University of Salzburg is a member of the European university alliance CIVIS, which also offers an online language tandem and online language cafés. The tandem programme enables students and employees of CIVIS universities to network with a language partner for informal language exchange. These are not formal lessons, but self-organized meetings. All languages are welcome! There are also online language cafés organized by student volunteers. You can participate regularly or spontaneously. To register for a programme, an e-mail address from the University of Salzburg is required.

Do you speak or are you learning Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, Romanian or another Romance language at B1 level or higher? Then you are warmly invited to the online Romance Language Café – a free meeting place for plurilingual encounters.
