Dear community,
We are very grateful to those of you have already joined our brand new forums to say 'hello' and introduce yourself. For those who have missed the launch of our forums: there is no time like to present to come and join us :-D
About the forums
The OLS forums are a place where you can find answers to your most pressing questions and some fantastic learning material, but it’s also a place where you can find friends and entertainment.
The forums are a place for Community with a capital C. That means, the forums are interactive, open, uplifting and inviting. So please, if you have not, I cordially invite you to introduce yourself to your fellow-mobility friends on this introduction post.
In a nutshell, here are the forums
- The "Ask the Community" Forum
On this forum you will be able to ask any question you may have about the usage of OLS, the community and the Dutch language in general. You may seek advice from other members and their experienced, or from the OLS community managers. - The "Living Abroad" Forum
This forum is a fundamental starting place for your adventure abroad and is the place where you can share your experience with the community about the country, the language and cultural encounters of all sorts. This is one of the most fun and interactive forums within the OLS Community, so we encourage you all to share insights, tell us about your experiences, ask questions and support each other on your joint-adventure abroad. - And, the "Practice your Dutch" Forum
On this forum you will have the chance of practicing your Dutch by participating in discussions according to your Dutch proficiency level and on different topics you may be interested in. Jump right into one of the discussion topics or suggest your own one!
All in all, I warmly welcome you to jump on the forums and join community members like Giovanpaolo, Raquel, Dominika and Berna in making these forums a wonderful place to be.
Warm wishes from Amsterdam,
Marieke (OLS Community Manager)
