SPEAKING- GOOD/BAD REASONS TO LEARN A LANGUAGES.
Each 26th of September, in Europe we celebrate the European Day of languages
The European Year of Languages 2001, jointly organised by the Council of Europe and the European Union, was successful in involving millions of people across 45
participating countries Its activities celebrated linguistic diversity in Europe and
promoted language learning
The general objectives of the European Day of Languages are:
1 Alerting the public to the importance of language learning and diversifying the range of languages learnt in order to increase plurilingualism and intercultural understanding;
2 Promoting the rich linguistic and cultural diversity of Europe, which must be preserved and fostered;
3 Encouraging lifelong language learning in and out of school, whether for study purposes, for professional needs, for purposes of mobility or for pleasure and exchanges
26 September 2011 marks the 10th anniversary of the European Day of
Languages (EDL) celebrated at the Council of Europe and throughout its 47 member
states
And remember we all speak a language and we need to feel proud of it We’re not a generation, we’re the generation Europe needs us and we all need Europe
