European Day of Languages

 Language Day, 24 Sep 2025, Roela, Estonia

On the European Day of Languages, students can take part in a variety of exciting activities that celebrate Europe’s linguistic and cultural diversity. They join discussions about the importance of learning languages and take part in a survey to share their own experiences. They test their knowledge in a quiz and watch a video to learn how to say “hello” in different languages. Interactive games such as “Where am I?” and “Listen and Guess the Language” challenge their geographical and listening skills. To finish, a language challenge invites everyone to try out new phrases and explore unfamiliar languages in a fun and engaging way.
