Švęskite Europos kalbų diena kartu su mumis!



700 milijonų europiečių iš 46 Europos Tarybos valstybių narių yra skatinami išmokti daugiau kalbų būdami bet kokio amžiaus, mokydamiesi mokykloje arba ne. Tikėdama, kad kalbų mokėjimas yra įrankis siekiant tarpkultūrinio bendradarbiavimo ir supratimo apie mūsų žemyno kultūrinį paveldą, Europos Taryba skatina daugiakalbystę visoje Europoje.
Europos Tarybos iniciatyva Europos kalbų diena – kartu su Europos Komisija – nuo 2001-ųjų metų rugsėjo 26-osios dienos švenčiama kasmet.

The beauty of languages

Every language harbours intriguing expressions, often accompanied by interesting or amusing anecdotes related to their usage. These reflect the unique charm and elegance of a language. Can you come up with an expression that you love – either from your native language or one you're learning— and provide the backstory or anecdote that explains its meaning?

The funniest one and only multilingual joke book

In how many languages can you make someone laugh? Following an extremely strict selection process (involving a jury of individuals who aren’t easy to please!) we ‘proudly’ present the results of this 2022 initiative. From the over 700 jokes that were submitted (not all of them publishable!) we have painstakingly whittled this down to the ‘crème de la crème’ of multilingual humour.

Word of the year

Every year, countries throughout Europe participate in the tradition of selecting a "word of the year." This practice involves choosing a single word or phrase that reflects the social, cultural, or political trends and events of the year. The word of the year serves as a symbolic representation of the collective consciousness and prevailing themes within a society. It captures the zeitgeist and becomes a reflection of the shared experiences, concerns, and aspirations of the people.

Kalbos iššūkių mobilioji programėlė slaptiesiems agentams  2023 

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."

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!

Kas tai per kalba?

Visiems puikiai pažįstama situacija: autobuse, kavinėje, gatvėje dažnai nugirstame žmones, kalbant kažin kokia mums nelabai suprantama užsienio kalba. O tada nejučia imame svarstyti: „Kas tai per kalba?“ Šiek tiek pasipraktikuokime, kad kitą sykį, kai ir vėl atsidursi tokioje situacijoje, puikiai gebėtum atpažinti kalbą!

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).
