#2: Tandem Languages at Charles University

The Faculty of Social Sciences offers the Tandem Languages course (JLB116) designed for students who would like to practice a foreign language with their peers. Students of two different languages work with a partner and help each other achieve a specific language goal. Students teaching the target language must be native speakers of that language. Unfortunately, we can not guarantee that each student will be matched with a suitable partner. For more information, study the information in SIS carefully (more information at tandem.cjp@fsv.cuni.cz). In order to register as a possible tandem partner, please use the registration form.

READING TIP: The Lights of Prague (author: Nicole Jarvis)

Have you just left Prague? Do you already miss the city? Do you like fantasy literature? Then “The Lights of Prague” is the right book for you! The magic world in the gaslight era of Prague is waiting for you…

FREQUENT QUESTION / DO NOT FORGET

I am a 2nd-year student. Can I change the MA thesis topic after January 31 (in case of CU, JU, and LU) and after February 28 (for UPF)?

In mid-April, second readers will be assigned on the basis of this finalized title, if you change your title between February and April (in extreme circumstances only and in conversation with the supervisor and local coordinator), you must inform us immediately.

Do you have any hints, ideas, or tips for interesting events, calls, books, films, podcasts, etc.? Do not hesitate to reach us at eps@fsv.cuni.cz. Your feedback and contribution are highly appreciated.
