Dear Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps national agencies,

As part of our ongoing efforts to promote language learning through Erasmus+ Online Language Support (OLS), we celebrate French Language Day on 20 March. This day highlights the importance of French as one of the six official working languages of the United Nations. See Feature languages and news for more details. 

To help keep language learning an enjoyable and interactive experience, we have launched the OLS video contest. Please remind mobility participants that they have until midnight on 21 April to submit their entries on their language learning experiences. See the Community managers & forums section below for details.

OLS is growing in leaps and bounds! The number of mobility participants who have joined an OLS language community – which gives them access to the learning material and the forums – is steadily increasing for all languages. In February, there were 95 895 participants in total, an increase of 46 % from October last year. 

To ensure we meet the demand, new learning content for all 29 languages is being added regularly to OLS. See the Feature languages and news section.

If you have not already done so, please take the time to complete this short survey to help us understand how we can better help you encourage mobility participants to improve their language skills via OLS. You can provide your feedback on the EU Survey platform here.

The OLS team
