Tandem for Grown-ups
Tandem programmes in Edinburgh
We list institutional programmes only. We do not match people, keep profiles or run a waiting list: you join through the organiser, on their page. Rules, dates and prices change, so check the official page before you go.

How it works
- Pick your city and read the cards: who can join, in what format, at what cost.
- Open the official page and check the current rules, dates and the sign-up step. We quote the page and show the date we checked it.
- Join through the organiser. Typically you state the language you speak and the one you want to practise, and a partner or a group is arranged.
- Want to meet people at real events as well? Meet & Mint shows events and people near you; join one alone, chat with the group, meet there.
Questions people ask
Is this a matching service?
No. We do not match people or hold profiles. Each card links to the organiser, who runs the sign-up.
Why only institutions?
Official programmes have a named organiser, published rules and a page you can check. That is what we can verify honestly.
Can I join if I am not a student?
It depends on the programme. The Who can join line says so, and the quote is copied from the official page.
How current is this?
Each card shows the date we checked the page. Always confirm the current rules there.
