Face-to-Face scheme

Meet up with speakers of different languages to exchange conversation.

What is it?

Face-to-Face is an informal way of meeting up with speakers of different languages to exchange conversation. It's open to all students and staff of The University of Manchester. All you need is your UoM email address. Once you have joined the scheme, you will be given access to an online noticeboard from where you can contact potential language partners.
