Among the five different English courses, Clara and Adrianna chose the English Course &#8220;Tandem Language Exchange\u201d, during which they met each other.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11324 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/eunice-university.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Bild2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"357\" height=\"326\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/eunice-university.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Bild2-1.jpg 832w, https:\/\/eunice-university.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Bild2-1-300x274.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eunice-university.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Bild2-1-768x702.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 357px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 357\/326;\" data-original-sizes=\"(max-width: 357px) 100vw, 357px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Clara Consille, student at Universit\u00e9 Polytechnique Hauts-de-France<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI chose to follow this course to improve my English skills and to <strong>communicate with other students from European universities<\/strong>. What I enjoy in this course is the format: we communicate through videoconference with other students and we talk about varied topics, that we choose in advance. It allows us to <strong>connect with people<\/strong> and feel comfortable in doing so.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>I have noticed an <strong>improvement in my English vocabulary<\/strong>, as it is quite different from what we are used to in more \u201ctraditional\u201d English courses<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>In my opinion, EUNICE courses are <strong>well-organised and easy to access<\/strong>. They allow us to open up to the world and to what is offered in other European universities. I would recommend it to students, especially thanks to the <strong>diversity of courses that exist<\/strong> and can interest everyone.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cMy decision to take part in the Tandem course turned out to be a great decision, as I met the wonderful Clara from France (Universit\u00e9 Polytechnique Hauts-de-France). Since the beginning of November, we met online every week on Thursday to<strong> talk about a topic chosen by one of us<\/strong>. So far, we have managed to talk about such topics as: habits, hobbies, music, transport, food waste, Christmas traditions, travels, teleworking. After each class, we made a summary and send it to our tutor to check our progress. The tutor met us at the beginning of the course and gets to know our goals for the course.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11334 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/eunice-university.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Photo-Adrianna_web-1024x970.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"364\" height=\"344\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 364px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 364\/344;\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/eunice-university.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Photo-Adrianna_web-1024x970.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/eunice-university.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Photo-Adrianna_web-300x284.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eunice-university.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Photo-Adrianna_web-768x728.jpg 768w, https:\/\/eunice-university.eu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Photo-Adrianna_web.jpg 1088w\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-original-sizes=\"(max-width: 364px) 100vw, 364px\" \/>\r\n<figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Adrianna Matuszczak, communication specialist at the Pozna\u0144 University of Technology<\/figcaption>\r\n<\/figure>\r\n\r\n<p>Thanks to this method, we have learned about the <strong>differences and similarities between our countries<\/strong>, Poland and France. For example, when discussing the topic related to transport, we talked about the most popular means of transport as well as communication exclusion.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>I have chosen this course because I wanted to speak English, get comfortable with it and be able to talk to an English-speaking person. In addition, I wanted to <strong>expand my vocabulary<\/strong> with new words.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>I highly recommend language courses with EUNICE to everyone because <strong>you can meet wonderful people<\/strong> as well as discover their culture and traditions. Thanks to the fact that we have the opportunity to meet people from all over Europe, we can <strong>broaden our horizons<\/strong> of thoughts as well as enrich ourselves with new friends that we can visit in the future. If there is an opportunity to take another language course with EUNICE, I will definitely take advantage of it to <strong>meet more people and discover more languages<\/strong>!\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<p>Interested persons who, after reading the article, also feel like taking a course, are welcome to visit our Website and view the <a href=\"https:\/\/eunice-university.eu\/courses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><mark class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-color\" style=\"background-color: #ffffff\">course program<\/mark><\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ABOUT THE AUTHORS<\/h4>\r\n\r\n<p>Clara Consille is a bachelor student at Universit\u00e9 Polytechnique Hauts-de-France.
