Fier de Europeeske Dei fan de Talen mei ús mei!



Yn Europa wurde 700 miljoen Europeanen, fertsjintwurdige yn de 46 lidsteaten fan de Rie fan Europa, oanmoedige om, nettsjinsteande harren leeftyd, mear talen te learen. De Rie fan Europa is der fan oertsjûge dat taalkundich ferskaat in ynstrumint is om ynterkultureel begryp te fergrutsjen en dat it in wichtich elemint is yn it kulturele erfguod fan ús kontinint. Om dy reden fuortsterket de Rie fan Europa meartalichheid yn Europa..

The great multilingual joke book (or Make me laugh!)

In how many languages can you make someone laugh? A sense of humour and what someone finds amusing are often considered to be influenced by the language/s they speak and their cultural background. In order to test out whether this is really the case, and during a time where there has not been much to laugh about, we are inviting you to send us your best jokes. The jokes can be in your own language/s or a language you are learning - the most important thing is that they are funny! They can of course be related to language/ adaptable to different languages but the primary criteria is that they are amusing!

Submit your favourite joke! If your joke makes it past a very strict jury (comprised of individuals who don’t laugh much!) your joke may be selected to feature in the ‘greatest ever (or perhaps only!) multilingual joke book’ to be published after the EDL.

EDL T-shirt contest winner 2023 

The winner of the 2023 EDL T-shirt contest is Alžbeta Šáleková –Slovenská Republika. Congratulations!

"When creating the design, I wanted to express the idea of the competition in a simple and clear way. I chose human natural means of communication as the main components. They are depicted by one interconnected variable line. It symbolically materializes the words leading from mouth to ear, at the same time thus representing a mutual conversation. The variability of the shapes used points to the diversity of languages, information, themes, and cultures, which enriches and develops them."

Famous quotes

We are all familiar with quotes from famous personalities in our own languages and cultures - but how many do we know from elsewhere in different languages? Here is a chance to discover the wisdom, truths (or half-truths!), creativity, humour and sometimes downright cynicism from a range of cultures and languages as well as their origins. Do you have a favourite? We would be delighted if you would also contribute some of your own!

The secret agent’s language challenges app  2022 

The challenges and quizzes contained within this app encourage learners – future international agents – to take advantage of the plentiful opportunities available to practice or learn more about a language beyond a classroom context. By passing through a series of levels you can rise from a lowly agent in training to become a master secret agent. You can compete with friends in achieving challenges, identifying countries and languages and completing quizzes. The challenges go from the easy, such as, “count from 1-10 in 3 different languages within one minute” to ones that are a bit more demanding, “together with a friend, write the words to a song/rap in a foreign language."

Questions you never dared to ask about languages

For this year’s European Day of Languages we have produced a series of short video clips focusing on ‘Questions you never dared to ask about languages’ with experts covering a range of backgrounds and specialisations responding.
As the title suggests, the questions are ones that we might not wish to ask in front of an audience but, in fact, highlight important issues and address some popular misconceptions about languages and language learning. Do you have a question you would like to ask an expert?

To see subtitles on the videos, please activate this feature by clicking on ‘subtitles’ in the YouTube menu below the video. To change languages, click on the gear wheel and select subtitles>’automatically translate’ and select the desired language (the machine translation is provided by YouTube).
