OLS uses an immersive approach to language learning. This means that you will see a lot of content in the language you are learning.

Research shows that immersion is an effective way to learn a foreign language: by using the language more, you will pick it up faster.

Don't worry if you don't understand every word! You will understand it later – the important thing is to see it in context.

On the other hand, the instructions are always available in five languages: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish.

Moreover, most of our videos offer subtitles in 29 languages – be sure to check if they are available when you watch them.

Finally, if you have a question, don't forget you can always get in touch with your community manager in the "Practise Your Language" community forum.
