Online Language Support - Update for January 2025

10.01.2025

COMMUNITY MANAGERS & FORUMS

To continue the momentum of excellent community participation we had last year, we have already scheduled 12 speaking sessions and 2 mini contests this month.

Here are the dates and the language communities:

Speaking sessions:

28 January: Danish, English, Finnish, Icelandic, Norwegian, Swedish, Turkish;
29 January: Czech, Slovak, Spanish
30 January: Dutch, Italian
To participate in a speaking session, mobility participants must go to the Practice your Language forum in the language learning community they are enrolled in and look for the discussion topic dedicated to the session. In the discussion topic, they will find the link to join the session and they can book their seats by publishing a comment. The sessions are intended to be a fun way to practice the language in a safe and welcoming space with a native speaker and peers. Speakers of all levels are welcome and no special preparation is needed.

Mini contests:

Spanish: ‘Find your slogan’ from 7 to 28 January
Portuguese: ‘Caption the image’ contest from 7 to 28 January
For ‘Find your slogan’, contestants will need to write a short phrase in the language they are learning to describe their mobility experience. ‘Caption the image’ will test their ability to describe an image with a few words – the funnier, the better.
