Language Exchange Evenings
The
language exchanges are over for the 2009-10 academic year
BUT they will resume in the autumn (2010)
Watch
this space!
What are Language Exchanges?
They are an opportunity for anyone
aged over 18 to use a language you are learning, share a language that you speak with others and meet people with different
cultures and languages. When you arrive at a language exchange evening you will be asked about which language(s) you already
speak and which you are learning. You will wear a label showing your name and your languages (spoken and learning). Then
you will be guided to a table marked with the name of the language you want. On the table you will normally find a volunteer
or volunteers who will facilitate the discussion. You can change table when you want. Refreshments are available
The
Language Exchange events are organised by student volunteers (many of them international students). It is co-ordinated by
Hallam Volunteering at Sheffield Hallam University Union of Students, Paternoster Row (opposite the Showroom cinema) with Languages Sheffield.
Exchanges take place normally on a middle Tuesday of the month from November to April (excluding January) from 6 to 8pm.
