  • Dates
    The digital cafés will run from 10 March to 30 May 2025.
    The on-site cafés at Leipzig University will take place from 24 April to 9 July 2025.

 

To actively participate, you should have some previous knowledge of the learning language (at least A2). Some language cafés are offered at different levels (A2/B1 and B2/C1).

The cafés take place once a week for an hour either online or on campus Augustusplatz. They are not language courses. The tutors who lead the sessions are not language teachers but competent speakers of the respective languages. Go to Moodle to register for the in-person language cafés.

Lead your own Arqus Café – Become a tutor!

No teaching experience is necessary to offer a language café yourself. All new tutors are invited to an introductory workshop to prepare them for their role as a tutor. The only requirement is that you have at least C1 level proficiency in the language of your café.
