Multilingual Speaker's Corner

Nicht nur Sprecher des Deutschen kommen bei den Campus Soundscapes auf ihre akustischen Kosten, sondern auch andere Sprachen sind mehr als willkommen.

If you have the gift of the gab or just things on your mind that you cannot yet express in German, have your say in any language you choose.

NEW: ONLINE SPRACHTANDEM, Semester 1 2010/11

In the German Department, we offer you an opportunity to participate in an Online-Sprachtandem with native speakers of German from the University of Greifswald. You will be communicating via email. The main idea of this project is to enjoy writing and speaking in German (and English) and to meet new people. And who knows, maybe you will find a new place to spend your next holiday!

If you are intrested in participating, please contact us:
Omar at o.sharaf@qmul.ac.uk
Sarah at s.hanke@qmul.ac.uk
Maria at m.suhlfleisch@qmul.ac.uk

We look forward to hearing from you!!!
