Did you know that there are over 6,000 languages spoken in the world?
That’s what the European Day of Languages (EDL) aims to celebrate, by showing people across Europe how important languages are, and what fun can be had learning them.
26th September marks the Day's 10th anniversary following the decision of the Council of Europe to declare a European Day of Languages to be celebrated on 26th September each year.
