Learning language is easier when combined with an activity like cooking or listening to the lyrics of a song. Our OLS community managers have some hot new activities for mobility participants to engage all their senses in learning:

• Mobility participants who want speaking practice for making their OLS video contest videos should join English community manager Iya’s Listen Up! series. A selection of audio recordings will get students to sharpen their listening and talking skills. See Tips for how to make an audio recording. 
• What’s the foundation of learning any language? Dutch community manager Marieke has the answer with a 7-Day Challenge for mobility participants to fire up their Dutch skills. They can find it in the OLS blog section of the Dutch learning community and resources. 
• What’s the trickiest part of making a tortilla de patatas? Spanish students can find the answer in this step-by-step video which Bernat, the Spanish OLS community manager, has served up. It’s a cooking and language lesson combined. 
• Want to know who Brikkuni, Joon and Kym Pepe are? Students learning Maltese will find the answer in the OLS blog, Contemporary Music from Malta I, courtesy of Maltese community manager Kurt.
• Do your mobility participants know about the Goldlist method for building  vocabulary? Slovak community manager Andrea explains how it’s done in her mastering vocabulary blog, in the OLS Slovak learning community.
