<p>Here are some common questions, but if you would like more information, please contact us at <a href="mailto:languagezone@leeds.ac.uk">languagezone@leeds.ac.uk</a></p>
<h2>Staying safe</h2>
<p>The University does not investigate the personal background of users of the scheme and cannot assess their suitability as language partners. We recommend that users exchange emails or chat via text before talking face-to-face and that you do not give out any personal details (such as your phone number) until you are ready. If meeting in person, you may wish to take a friend with you, at least to begin with, and to meet in a public place.</p>
<h2>FAQs</h2>
<div class="uol-accordion">
<h3 class="uol-accordion__title"> Can people who are not members of the University of Leeds join the Language Exchange? </h3>
<div class="uol-accordion__content">
<div class="uol-rich-text">
<p>Unfortunately not, the Language Exchange is only open to students and staff of the University of Leeds.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="uol-accordion">
<h3 class="uol-accordion__title">My language isn't listed, can I still join?</h3>
<div class="uol-accordion__content">
<div class="uol-rich-text">
<p>Yes, just email us at <a href="mailto:languagezone@leeds.ac.uk">languagezone@leeds.ac.uk</a> to have your language added.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="uol-accordion">
<h3 class="uol-accordion__title">Can I have more than one language partner?</h3>
<div class="uol-accordion__content">
<div class="uol-rich-text">
<p>Yes, you can have as many as you feel you have time for.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="uol-accordion">
<h3 class="uol-accordion__title">I can't find a partner for my language in the search, what can I do?</h3>
<div class="uol-accordion__content">
<div class="uol-rich-text">
<p>The Language Exchange depends upon the ever-changing number of language speakers who are present at the University. We do our best to help people find one another, but we cannot guarantee that everyone will be able to find a partner. However, as long as you fill out a profile, you will be visible in the search, and new users joining the scheme may still contact you in the future.</p>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="uol-accordion">
<h3 class="uol-accordion__title">I have enough language partners now, what should I do?</h3>
<div class="uol-accordion__content">
<div class="uol-rich-text">
<p>You can deactivate your profile at any point. While deactivated, you will not show up in any searches or receive contact emails. You can reactivate your profile at any time. You can also add or remove languages if you have found a partner for one target language, but are still seeking partners for another language.</p>

<div class="uol-accordion">
<h3 class="uol-accordion__title">What should I do at my Language Exchange meeting?</h3>
<div class="uol-accordion__content">
<div class="uol-rich-text">
<p>It's completely up to you and your partner to decide, but many people divide the session in two and spend half the time conversing in each language. You may like to read these <a href="#">Meet-Up Tips [link needed]</a> on making the most of your Language Exchange.</p>

We recommend that users exchange emails or chat via text before talking face-to-face and that you do not give out any personal details (such as your phone number) until you are ready. If meeting in person, you may wish to take a friend with you, at least to begin with, and to meet in a public place.</p><h2>FAQs</h2><div class=\"uol-accordion\"> <h3 class=\"uol-accordion__title\"> Can people who are not members of the University of Leeds join the Language Exchange? </h3> <div class=\"uol-accordion__content\"> <div class=\"uol-rich-text\"> <p>Unfortunately not, the Language Exchange is only open to students and staff of the University of Leeds.</p></div></div></div><div class=\"uol-accordion\"> <h3 class=\"uol-accordion__title\">My language isn't listed, can I still join?</h3> <div class=\"uol-accordion__content\"> <div class=\"uol-rich-text\"> <p>Yes, just email us at <a href=\"mailto:languagezone@leeds.ac.uk\">languagezone@leeds.ac.uk</a> to have your language added.</p></div></div></div><div class=\"uol-accordion\"> <h3 class=\"uol-accordion__title\">Can I have more than one language partner?</h3> <div class=\"uol-accordion__content\"> <div class=\"uol-rich-text\"> <p>Yes, you can have as many as you feel you have time for.</p></div></div></div><div class=\"uol-accordion\"> <h3 class=\"uol-accordion__title\">I can't find a partner for my language in the search, what can I do?</h3> <div class=\"uol-accordion__content\"> <div class=\"uol-rich-text\"> <p>The Language Exchange depends upon the ever-changing number of language speakers who are present at the University. We do our best to help people find one another, but we cannot guarantee that everyone will be able to find a partner. However, as long as you fill out a profile, you will be visible in the search, and new users joining the scheme may still contact you in the future.</p></div></div></div><div class=\"uol-accordion\"> <h3 class=\"uol-accordion__title\">I have enough language partners now, what should I do?</h3> <div class=\"uol-accordion__content\"> <div class=\"uol-rich-text\"> <p>You can deactivate your profile at any point. While deactivated, you will not show up in any searches or receive contact emails. You can reactivate your profile at any time. You can also add or remove languages if you have found a partner for one target language, but are still seeking partners for another language.</p></div></div></div><div class=\"uol-accordion\"> <h3 class=\"uol-accordion__title\">What should I do at my Language Exchange meeting?</h3> <div class=\"uol-accordion__content\"> <div class=\"uol-rich-text\"> <p>It's completely up to you and your partner to decide, but many people divide the session in two and spend half the time conversing in each language.
