    Does the EU have official language centres, or affiliated centres offering subsidised courses?

    Hi #15,

    The EU doesn't run official languages centres in member states. We are not aware of any subsidised courses by the EU either where citizens can learn foreign languages different from the country they live.

    Most funding of that kind is focused on people traveling to other EU member states on programmes, like Erasmus, Leonardo Da Vinci or Grundtvig where they are sometimes given subsidised language courses in the host state to learn the local language.

    However, individual member states do run such courses themselves through their embassies and cultural centres. For example, the Alliance Francaise and the Instituto de Cervantes run language centres funded by their respective governments.

    Most language courses teaching European Languages will follow an EU framework for language levels using the Common Framework for Reference which is an EU wide system for gauging language proficiency.
