Tan­dem Tu­tori­als (Videos)

These tutorials will help you on your way to a successful tandem. Here you will find lots of help and practical tips! Each video tutorial comes with a script (text) to read along. This means you can take your own notes.

(Note: As the tutorials were developed within the framework of the "preTandem project", some parts refer to "eTandem" - i.e. an online tandem. However, most of the contents are just as important for a face-to-face tandem/a tandem in person).
