European Day of Languages

Get ready for the ultimate international extravaganza because the European Day of Languages lands on September 26th! This spectacular annual celebration was launched by the Council of Europe and the European Union back in 2001, and it’s all about turning up the volume on linguistic diversity and sparking a passion for language learning across Europe. 

Today, you’ll find a whirlwind of exciting activities and events happening in schools, cultural hotspots, and communities all over the continent. It’s a linguistic fiesta, celebrating the whopping 200 different languages spoken in Europe! Learning and preserving our native tongues, and maybe even picking up a few new ones, enriches our cultural horizons while giving our cognitive functions a workout. So, take this opportunity to learn a new word in a European language and let’s raise a glass and say “Cheers! Santé! Cin Cin! Prost! Skål!…”
