About
Language Café is an online language exchange tandem activity, created for students who want to practice languages through real conversations, not traditional classes. There are no exams, no teachers, no pressure – just people, languages, and good vibes.
What is Language Café?
Language Café is a fun, informal online space where students from different European universities come together to chat, laugh, and learn languages naturally.
You will practice by talking with other students who are native or stronger speakers, while also helping them in return.
Think of it as a virtual café where languages are shared, friendships are built, and confidence grows.
How does it work?
- You will be matched in pairs or small groups
- You meet once per week
- Each session lasts 1 hour
- The activity runs for 4 consecutive weeks
That’s it – simple and flexible!
Learn your way
There is no fixed platform.
You and your group decide how to meet:
Whatever app you already use and feel comfortable with.
You also decide the rhythm and topics – music, travel, student life, food, culture… anything goes!
Register by 26th February
Why join?

And if you feel inspired, you can optionally create a short reel sharing:
- Your experience
- What you learned
- What you enjoyed
- Whether you would like this activity to happen again
– and win goodies from your university!
(Completely optional – but fun!)
The best-quality reels will be published on the EU CONEXUS social media channels!
