Language tandem

Interested in learning a foreign language or in improving your skills in a foreign language? Looking for interactive and dynamic exchange? If so, the Language Tandem programme is just what you are looking for! Language Tandem means that, usually, two people with different native languages work together to improve their language skills.

How does Language Tandem work?

When you register, you state your native language and other languages that you are learning and would like to improve. Ohm staff will then search its database for a student who is a native speaker of that language. 

By getting together and doing activities together, you will soon pick up valuable skills in a foreign language, while at the same time getting to know new people and cultures within our university. You can decide how you want to arrange your meetings and what you want to learn and do together.

Interested?

Then register now using our online form.

Registration deadline for winter semester 2026/27: to be announced
We look forward to your participation!

Language tandem event

Nothing is like personal exchange! Once each semester, we hold our popular language tandem event! You can get to know each other, find new tandem partners, or develop established networks with games and varied exchange formats in a relaxed atmosphere.

The next language tandem event will be on 5 November.

All students who participated in the language tandem programme in winter semester will receive an invitation to the event by email. Information about registering for the follow-up event will be included in the email.

New participants are also very welcome! If you would like to join the language tandem programme, please sent us an email at sprachtandem@th-nuernberg.de to receive information about registering.

How we use your registration details

All information is provided voluntarily. If you want us to delete your personal information from the Language Tandem database at any time, please let us know via email at sprachtandem@th-nuernberg.de. The information you provide will only be used by staff at the Ohm to match you with a language partner and will not be divulged to third parties. For matching purposes, only your name and university email will be passed on to your selected tandem partners, as a suggestion. Other data will not be passed on and can be shared with your tandem partner once you have got in touch with him/her in person and at your own discretion.
