Language Exchange Sessions – 2nd round

After a very successful first round (thanks to all of you!!), the second round for those who are interested will take place on Tuesday 12th, from 17:00 onwards at the Perchoir (the Vortex bar at UNIL).


As usual:

-It takes place in a bar, so don’t forget your covid certificate

-Feel free to bring along anyone you like -You’ll likely enjoy the session more if you know the basics of the language you want to practice (e.g. a Duolingo skill tree’s worth, but it’s by no means mandatory as long as you don’t actually start from scratch)

If you want to subscribe or get someone to subscribe to the event (so you can have all the information by mail), have them send an email to unil-langex+subscribe@googlegroups.com (note the hyphen and the plus) or scan the QR code.
