Language Learning in Tandem

Language learning in tandem involves two people with differing native languages working together in order to learn with- and from each other in a systematic manner. Tandem partners may meet in person (Face-to-face-Tandem) or over longer distances via media such as telephone, E-mail, internet chat or videoconference (eTandem).
