The LRC sends a big welcome/welcome back to all students joining us this term. We hope you are all feeling refreshed after the Summer break and ready for the new semester! We'd like to remind you that here in the LRC we are back to our regular opening hours, and there is still plenty for you to be involved with to practise your languages during this term...

Peer-Assisted Learning (PAL) Programme:
From October, we will be continuing to offer 1 - to - 1 practice sessions in Arabic, British Sign Language, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish!
1 - to - 1 sessions are individual 20 -minute sessions suitable for students at ANY level - even beginners! They are ideal for keeping up your language skills, especially if you have language exams coming up!
You can sign up to the programme by completing our Online Registration Form:

Online Tandem Board:
If you haven't already done so, you can join our Online Tandem Board, where you can find tandem partners to practise with! You can request access by filling in this form: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=yRJQnBa2wkSpF2aBT74-h16tB3-LPbJBtFZPI2oQ9exUN0lRTzc0NjE5RDBZODBPSjIyVzAxVUc2WSQlQCN0PWcu
There will also be a Tandem Evening in the centre towards the end of October, where you can come and mingle with other students looking to find a partner! More information on this will be sent out in the coming weeks, so keep your eyes peeled as spaces will be limited!
