How can I start my OLS language course?
Dear OLS learner,In order to start perfecting your new language with OLS, you will first need to join a language community and complete a language assessment.
You can already find great courses at levels A1, A2, B1 and B2 for English, French, German, Italian and Spanish – which are very likely to cover your needs for your mobility journey and help you to discover great new places. The new OLS platform will be continually upgraded with new content so be sure to check in with us from time to time!

Your language community manager is there to help you at all times. You can ask questions in one of the OLS working languages (English, French, Spanish, Italian and German) if you are an A1-level learner. If you are at A2 level or above, congratulations! Why not try to ask any questions in the language that you are learning? That will help you greatly with your progress!
