Does this look appealing? Tandem holds more of these activities and can pair you with a language buddy on the language.tudelft.nl website. After all, you learn a language more quickly by talking to each other.
If you prefer just reading a book in another language, Tandem has two bookcases filled with international literature on the campus. One in the UB and another in the common room at X. “We have books in just about any language in Europe, plus in Chinese and Japanese,” says Tandem’s Jeroen Roseboom. “You can just come and take them. We assume that you will bring them back.”
Correction 18-2-2019 :
The word ‘EU’ has been replaced by ‘Europe’.
