European Day of Languages

Today is the European Day of Languages.

While researching this blog, I realised that there are many international days dedicated to languages. On 21 February we celebrated International Mother Language Day, today is the European Day of Languages and immediately afterwards, on 30 September, we celebrate International Translators' Day.

Do we need such events?

Yes, we really do!

Languages broaden our horizons, help us to understand people from other countries and their culture, thus breaking down barriers and strengthening the bonds that unite us. Learning and practising a foreign language is also said to promote mental health.

Multilingualism not only enhances personal growth but also fuels economic and social cooperation. Let's leverage our language skills to connect, collaborate, and contribute to a sustainable world. Happy European Day of Languages!
