Language exchange and mentorship programmes

Take part in our language exchange and mentorship programmes! If you join the Buddy System, you’ll spend time with a French student who will help you get to know Paris and speak French on a daily basis. Through Parismus, you can pair up with other students to share knowledge of your language and culture: a great opportunity to build relationships, make progress and get the best out of your experience at Sorbonne University!

Sorbonne University is part of the national Buddy System platform, managed by ESN France, with support from Erasmus+, Campus France and CROUS. This programme puts international students in touch with volunteer French students in the Paris Region. Your Buddy will help you find your way around, discover Paris and practise speaking French on a daily basis.

Mentorship programmes are personalised according to your criteria (language, discipline, interests).

With support from the university, the Parismus student association also runs a tandem programme: you can be put in touch with a partner to practise your languages together.
