Interested in German language and culture? Join the Tandem Program through Experiential Global Learning this Spring 2026!
The Tandem Program pairs you with a German university student for a virtual language and cultural exchange. You’ll meet weekly (at a time you choose) to practice German and English, share what life is like in Connecticut and Germany, and build an international connection. German partners have strong English skills, so students at all levels of German are welcome.
Program details:
One-hour virtual meetings each week
Kick-off meeting in late January
Weekly reflection required (topics provided)
Participate for GERM credit (independent study) or as a volunteer
How to apply:
Email ann.keim@uconn.edu and include:
Whether you want to earn German credit
Whether you plan to study abroad in Germany (and preferred university, if known)
Deadline: Register by January 16 to be paired with a partner.
