Tandem Language Learning
The Tandem approach to practicing a foreign language is simple and effective: two persons of differing mother tongues make a commitment to communicate regularly to teach their own language to one another. Tandem partnerships can be made in Lausanne through the University of Lausanne's tandem forum or via "distance learning" through Skype when tandem partners are living abroad. Both linguistic partners are completely autonomous. Each controls their own schedule and levels of intensity for their learning sessions, as well as the content and direction of their mutual tutoring and the types of corrections which best suit their respective language learning goals.
