Start of the courses in autumn semester 2019:
3rd week of the semester (from September 30th, 2019 on) |
Start of the course registration:
September 16th, 2019

The conversation courses are part of the many optional course offered by the University of St. Gallen and are managed by the Language Center. The courses are open to all matriculated students and are free of charge.
Use this unique opportunity to improve your intercultural communication skills by increasing your knowledge of a foreign language together with your fellow students and under the guidance of a native speaker, free from grades or academic pressure.
Because there is a maximum number of students allowed per course, we ask you to only register for a course if you plan to attend it on a regular basis. Remember: for every registered student in a course who does not attend regularly, there are other more motivated students who did not receive the spot and are deprived of the opportunity to attend that course.

(German Conversation Course, Julia B., 2018)
