We’re thrilled to announce the 10 winners of the Online Language Support (OLS) Video Contest! Their names and the links to the videos are in the announcements section of the Learning Community and Resources for each language. Thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to the success of the competition.
To coincide with the end of classes and the start of the holidays, we have new content for you to discover. There are new B1 and B2 level courses in French, Italian, and Spanish about topics affecting us all: noise pollution, the media, and depopulation of towns and villages. So, you can start using what you learn immediately.
The B1 module, “Inform and be informed”, will help you understand and learn vocabulary for different sections of a newspaper. It is currently available in French (Je m’informe et j’informe), Italian (Io mi informo e inform), and Spanish (Me informo e informo a los demás).
The other new B1 module, “It’s too noisy!”, deals with the all-too-common nuisance of noise pollution in cities. Learn vocabulary and phrases that will help you tackle it in your own life, for example by writing a politely worded letter to noisy neighbours in your apartment building. It is available for French (Il y a trop de bruit) and Spanish (¡Hay mucho ruido!) students.
The French B2 module, “Venez vivre dans mon village” (Come and live in my village) is about an initiative to draw young people and business to the countryside. It’s also available in Spanish “¡Venid a vivir a mi pueblo!”. It’s coming soon in English, Italian and German.
