Language tandem

This program is for you who want help learning a second language while helping another person learn your native tongue.  For example:

Marko has German as a native language and would like to learn more Swedish

+

Håkan has Swedish as a native language and would like to learn more German

=

Language tandem

Marko (who has German as a native tongue and would like to learn more Swedish) and Håkan (who has Swedish as a native tongue and would like to learn more German) meet once or twice a week for coffee or tea.They try different topics every time they meet, but at times they just improvise. Marko and Håkan both think that it’s nice to have a person who speaks the language they want to learn as a native tongue, because they can correct each other. Neither of them are teachers, but they are interested in each other’s language and culture.
