Sign up now and improve your language skills with native speakers ================================================================================================ General 2 February 2021 Our CIVIS language cafés are back! ---------------------------------- The Dept of Language Education of **Stockholm University** organises **language cafe sessions** where students and university staff from a CIVIS member university get the opportunity to practise languages in an informal setting, together with other students and native speakers. ##### The Language Cafes will be running digitally via the e-meeting service Zoom. ### What is a language cafe? The idea of a language cafe is to practise your language skills and cultural awareness by talking to native speakers and other learners, informally, over coffee or tea. The cafes are run by student native speakers on a voluntary basis. No credits are given and no teachers are present, unless they are learners, too. Welcome to participate on a regular basis or drop in spontaneously. ### Languages available 18 languages are available from February to May 2021 including **English**, **Swedish**, **Greek**, **Spanish**, **Italian**, **German, Romanian** and many more! Check out the schedule to get the full list of languages. ### Registration The digital language cafes are open for **students and staff at universities within CIVIS**. People interested in joining a language café are invited to send an email to [info@sprakstudion.su.se](mailto:info@sprakstudion.su.se?subject=Registration%20to%20the%20Digital%20language%20cafe&body=Name%3A%0ACIVIS%20University%3A%0ALanguage%20cafes(s)%20you'd%20like%20to%20participate%20in%3A%0AAre%20you%20a%20student%20or%20staff%3F%3A%0AComments%3A%20(e.g.%20if%20you%20are%20interested%20in%20contributing%20as%20a%20language%20cafe%20coordinator%20in%20your%20native%20language(s))) ### Interested in coordinating a cafe in your native language?
