Dear English community,
Are you new to the community and unsure what the English Learning Community and Resources is all about? No need to worry! In this post, you will find all we have on offer for English learners just like you!
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
OLS is not just a package of courses, nor is it just the language assessment you were asked to take. OLS is a community filled with peers who are on a similar language-learning journey as you!
Besides some more formal courses, you can read blogs that dive deeper into several topics covering language and culture, you can participate in the forums, and you can join contests to win some really cool prizes!
TAKE THE COURSES
To get started with taking the courses, you will need to complete the language assessment
to determine your level of English. Once completed, you will be recommended one
of the courses, like these: A1, A2, B1, B2. If
you are ready for more, you can explore the additional courses by using the
curriculum tab at the bottom of the landing page. It looks like this:

ENGAGE IN THE FORUMS
This community has three main forums, where, among other things, you can ask
questions, connect with your peers, practice your language skills and share
your experiences abroad. These main forums are:
The fourth forum is dedicated to our contests, accessible by clicking the link below:
· The “OLS Video Contest” forum
While the community manager is here to keep the discussions going and facilitate participation, feel free to create your own threads and discuss whichever subject interests you. But first, why don't you start by introducing yourself here?
READ THE BLOG
We regularly publish articles pertaining to English-speaking
countries and language learning in general. Our goal is to develop useful and
interesting content for every language level. The blogs are available in the OLS Blog section,
which is located within the Interactions category on the homepage, just
below the forums.
AS A FINAL NOTE
In this community, everyone is welcome. Our only request is that whatever is
said is done with regard to other people’s feelings. By doing so, we create a
safe and welcoming space for everyone! A small ray of positivity and kindness
goes a long way. :) And we definitely want a welcoming, uplifting and joyful
space.
If you’re unsure about anything, you can read our house rules here.
On that note, I wish you an inspiring and fulfilling learning journey here with
us. See you in the community!
Iya, OLS Community Manager – English
