Learning Languages with the Schnack-Ø – Language Learning Island

Learning languages today works without a traditional language course. Whether you want to dip spontaneously into a new language between lectures and a coffee break, are looking for accompanying support, or wish to learn independently and in a structured way – as an EMERGE HUB and language learning island, the Schnack-Ø offers the right space for all of this.

What does "Schnack-Ø" actually mean?

"Schnack-Ø" is a play on words combining Low German and Danish, literally meaning "language island". With this, we bring a touch of regional charm into the mix and invite everyone to start learning straight away.

What does the Schnack-Ø offer?

The Schnack-Ø is a meeting place for everyone on campus with an interest in languages, equipped with free, up-to-date learning materials, a wide variety of language games, and engaging interactive activities. Very soon, numerous tips for effective language learning will be dotted all around the "island" – simply follow the QR codes and discover them!
