The Languages Café at the University of Exeter

Every week in terms 1 and 2, the University of Exeter holds Languages Café sessions on campus which are open to all its students, staff and members of the public. All levels of ability are welcome, and there is no need to book or prepare in advance – just turn up!

The Languages Cafe is:

  • A great way to meet people at the University of Exeter and improve a language in a fun and relaxed way.
  • An opportunity to promote intercultural communication and give language learners, practitioners, and enthusiasts an opportunity to converse informally in their chosen language.
  • Open to anyone at the University of Exeter (students and staff) and members of the public.
  • Free of charge.
  • Beneficial whatever your language level. All you need is the enthusiasm to learn a foreign language and to meet people from across the world.

Languages on offer have included French, Spanish, Italian, English, Arabic, Mandarin, British Sign Language, Russian, Japanese, and Portuguese; but others be added if there are two (or more) speakers of the same language on that day.

The Languages Café will take place every Wednesday from 17:00 to 18:00 in Forum Seminar Rooms 1-3 on the Streatham Campus during the first term of the 2024-2025 academic year.

No sign-up is required, entry is free, and tea and coffee will be provided.
