The first online course starts on Thursday, May 7, with start dates for the others following on until July 3, the foundation says.
A total of 91 courses, from A1 in the Common European Framework (CEF), though A2, B1, B2 to C1, are available. There are 1,456 spots open for adult learners, the foundation says.

Adults of at least 18 years of age can register for courses, regardless of place of residence and the location of the course provider.
The Integration Foundation also offers a counseling option for help with selecting and enrolling on courses.
Should you miss the current free courses, the next opportunity opens in August, with more than 2,500 places available.
