Online Linguistic Support (OLS) is a free service launched by the European Commission to help participants in Erasmus+ mobility activities improve their knowledge of the language they will use to work, study, or volunteer abroad, so that they can get the most out of their experience. OLS allows for flexible and easy language support and contributes to the specific objective of the Erasmus+ program of promoting language learning and linguistic diversity. It also aims to improve the quality of learning and measure the program's impact on participants' language skills.

The old OLS (Online Linguistic Support) platform has been deactivated. The new OLS (Online Language Support) platform is hosted by EU Academy: https://academy.europa.eu/. Please read the FAQ document available in the following section for more details on accessing this new platform.

OLS is developing exciting new language learning content, which will complement the more than 30 hours of courses at levels A1-A2 already available in 29 languages, as well as levels B1-B2 in English, French, Spanish, German, and Italian. These new features will be available this summer for all languages.
