Dear Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps national agencies,

First of all, a big thank you for your continued support of the OLS learning community. With your help we are making it easier for mobility participants to learn, study and/or volunteer throughout the EU by introducing them to the language of their host countries.

Since its launch in July 2022, the new OLS has already attracted more than 65 000 participants. The language assessment has been taken almost 150 000 times, a further indication of its usefulness for participants.

A multilingual EU is fast becoming a reality, and young Europeans are clearly motivated to learn more about their neighbours. This is evident in the fact that members of the five most active language community forums (English, Spanish, Italian, French and German) are on average at the B2 level – rating them as independent users.

We hope you continue making use of these resources.

Regards,

The OLS team
