Erasmus+ supports language learning

The Online Linguistic Support (OLS) language test of the Erasmus programme offers everyone going on mobility the opportunity to assess their language skills. Additionally, it is possible to participate in free online language courses for several languages. The language tests are available in a total of 29 different languages, providing an excellent opportunity to learn the local language of the host country while abroad.

To use the Erasmus Online Language Support (OLS) platform and create an account, follow these steps:

  1. If you don’t have an account, create one on the EU Academy platform
  2. Join a suitable OLS language community
  3. Select the language test.
  4. Complete the language assessment.

After completing the test, you can choose a suitable language course. You don’t have to limit yourself to just the local language – if you wish, you can learn several languages at the same time!
