 In Tandem language learning both partners can meet in person (face-to-face tandem) or learn by e-mail, phone or other media (eTandem, also called Distance Tandem), placing emphasis on cultural integration as part of the language-learning process.Within tandem exchanges, language learning takes place in the context of a “reciprocated autonomous” exchange, meaning participants each take part in learning each others’ languages.Time is equally divided so that the exchange of language learning is fairly distributed.
