Experiencing Languages

What is a Language Tandem?
You’re curious about foreign languages and cultures? At no charge, our service creates contacts between students with different native languages. You meet regularly with your partner to learn his or her language and get a look into his or her native culture. How does that exactly work? more here...

Do you like learning foreign languages? Would you like to deepen your German skills for academic reasons? Or do you want to refresh and expand foreign languages which you learned at school? The Language compass contains information on language courses and workshops at Universität Hamburg, information about language tests, language tandem, and studying tips.

PIASTA language cafés are organized by students for students. Native speakers act as language coordinators, getting the conversation off to a good start and motivating participants to speak.

The Certificate Intercultural Competence (CIC) is an extracurricular offering at Universität Hamburg. It targets students with a strong record of commitment to intercultural affairs.
