What is a Tandem Partner?
Well one of the best ways I’ve found to not only make some new friends, but also practice your Germany, is through a Tandem. A tandem is essentially two people meeting together to exchange language. Both have something to offer. I offer Germans the chance to speak English with a native, while they offer to me the chance to talk with German Natives.

First make a good advertisement. I usually write something like: USA Native, 24, seeks German Native Speaker for Tandem. Can be contacted via email XX@XXX.com.
Meeting Your Tandem Partner
Arrange a nice location like a coffee shop. Somewhere that is public and not too loud. Usually I meet my language Tandem for about an hour or two, then try to arrange another meeting appointment.
-Just remember, this isn’t a commitment, if you don’t like them, you can just as easily say, I don’t have time anymore…
