==Opportunities for application==
Tandem is an approach that can benefit all ages, which can be implemented in different educational settings, but perhaps is best appreciated by language students with a lower intermediate proficiency or above. It can take place in the country of one course group, in the country of the other group, together in a third ___location, or over the Internet.
Tandem unites many aims under one roof:
* general language Tandem,
* Tandem focused on cultural exchange,
* Tandem for professional purposes,
* cross-cultural understanding Tandem,
* multilingual ‘Babylonia Tandem’,
* cross-border 'Mugaz Gain'<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tandemcity.info/euskara/ca24_mugaz-gain.htm |title=TANDEM Fundazioa: Mugaz Gain proyecto cultural transfronterizo |website=Tandemcity.info |date= |accessdate=2016-01-20}}</ref> and
* eTandem on the Internet

And offers self-directed learning with flexibility of content: conversation, narrative, reading, professional activities such as phone calls, interpretation, translation, as well as leisure activities, intercultural differences, etc. Tandem has developed from a language-learning method to an educational movement, as evidenced by the sources cited.
