Arqus Café

What is the Arqus Café?

The Arqus Café is a virtual meeting place where students and staff from the Arqus partner universities can practice their language skills outside of the language classroom. The sessions are not led by teachers but instead by language tutors who are native-level speakers. This is a great way to expand your language and cultural knowledge informally and with other language learners in a relaxed atmosphere.

You should have a working knowledge of the language (min. A2/B1) so that you can actively participate in the sessions. We are now offering both a beginner/intermediate and intermediated/advanced café for the languages where this is possible.

So grab a cup of coffee and join us virtually!

Where will the meetings take place?

The language cafés take place via the video conference platform ZOOM.

After you register and receive a place in a specific café, you will receive the Zoom link via email.

If you have any questions, just contact the Arqus Café Team.

Registration

Registration for the eighth session (11^th March–21^st June 2024) is now open. To sign up, just fill out the Registration Form.

Here is some important information about the registration process:

• Online registration opens about one to two weeks before each new session.
• Registration is only possible with a university email address. If you don’t provide your university email, we won’t be able to process your registration.
• Complete the registration form. There you will be able to choose the language and time slot of the café you would like to participate in.
• You will then receive a confirmation of participation with the Zoom link before the session begins. This confirmation of participation guarantees your place, and your registration is binding at this point. If the language café is full, you will receive a message to that regard and will be placed on the waiting list.
