Introduction to language learning and teaching
Definition
Tandem is a way of learning a language by exchanging with somebody who wants to learn your language. You divide the time into two parts. In one, your partner learns and practises your language, and you help him/her. In the other, you learn and practise her/his language, and your partner helps you.
It is an especially good way to learn new words, to understand better, to speak freely and to learn to express yourself with few words, to get to know other cultures.
