Speak-dating
Speak dating is a session of brief introductions to foreign languages. It consists of short (5–10 minutes) language “lessons” in a language of your choice (mostly with a native speaker). The teachers are able to adapt to your level. You can practice your existing language skills or try out a new foreign language on your way home from work or school. In 2023, over 20 languages were on offer.
