There are many ways to learn a language<\/h2>\n

La Mezzanine des Langues : a studious and relaxed atmosphere<\/h3>\n

Immerse yourself in the most diverse linguistic and cultural worlds, benefit from the presence of foreign students learning French to help them and help yourself, watch films and series in VO … in a friendly atmosphere while staying focused on your studies. Student tutors and the CIEL team will be delightedto help you.<\/p>\n

TANDEM for language learning \u2013 I help you to learn my language and you help me to learn yours<\/h3>\n

Tandem is a great way to progress in a short time. The principle is simple: two people speaking a different mother tongue help each other to learn the language of the other. Every year at the beginning of the academic year, you can register with the CIEL \u2013 either during an informal get-together or through the Moodle platform. You indicate your mother tongue, the language you want to learn, your interests, how you can be contacted\u2026<\/p>\n

Conversation workshop<\/h3>\n

In small groups, with native students (English, Spanish, German), you can meet up to speak, discuss, and share your experiences. You can sign-up at the\u201d Mezzanine des Langues\u201d, just ask the person in charge of the \u201cEspaces Langues\u201d.<\/p>\n

Printemps des poetes<\/h3>\n

Mastering a language is more than just knowing how to go shopping, writing business letters, giving a scientific presentation … understanding and savoring what people produce as aesthetic works is a powerful engine of learning. Beauty and pleasure are not a luxury – even in learning a language. The BU and the CIEL have been organizing activities for several years as part of the “Printemps des Po\u00e8tes” (Poets Spring) : you will have the opportunity to share some very beautiful moments of poetry – musical entertainment live and on video, snacks and drinks included\u2026<\/p>\n

Theme Tables<\/h3>\n

There will be many activities and cultural initiatives throughout your student life. The Mezzanine des Langues organises debates to improve your knowledgeof foreign languages, with many different themes: cinema, the workplace, science, world culture, sport \u2026.<\/p>\n

Festive and cultural events<\/h2>\n

Language Festival and World Culture<\/h3>\n

At the beginning of each academic year the CIEL, in cooperation with the University Library, the International Office, The University Centre for French as a Foreign language (CUFLE) and the CROUS, organises a multilingual and multicultural party : a language quiz, dancing, a festive meal, music and people from all over the world : all the ingredients are there to have a good time. You can also sign up for Tandem Language.<\/p>\n
