- Choose one of the following topics:

  • Pronunciation challenge: say a tongue-twister, a word you like or read a sentence from a book in the language of the country where you’re spending your mobility. You can also pick a sentence from OLS language courses. Explain the reason why you pick the sentence.
  • Tell us an anecdote about your language learning journey: tell us something that happened to you while making your first steps in your new language: a funny misunderstanding, the first time you attended a class in a different language, how you made friends in your new language, etc.
  • What or who inspired you to learn a new language? Tell us more about the motivations that influenced you when you chose to embark on your language learning journey: was it a person you met, a new job, a place you travelled to…?
