Святкуй Європейський день мов з нами!



2024: Languages for Peace

700 мільйонів європейців представлені в 46 державах-членах Ради Європи мають можливості відкривати для себе більше мов у будь-якому віці. Це виходить з переконання Ради Європи, що мовне різноманіття є інструментом для досягнення більш глибокого міжкультурного розуміння та є ключовим елементом у багатій культурній спадщині нашого континенту. Тому Рада Європи у Страсбурзі пропагує багатомовність у всій Європі.. 

За ініціативою Ради Європиinitiative, разом із Європейською комісією, Європейський день мов відзначається щороку   26 вересня, починаючи з 2001 року.

Most difficult letter/word/phrase to pronounce!

For example, the letter 'Ř' (a ‘raised alveolar non-sonorant trill’!) from Czech is reputed to be one of the most difficult letters to pronounce in the world – except (of course) if you are Czech! Can you come up with something just as difficult to pronounce or even more so – either in your own language or in the one you are learning? If so, send us a short video illustrating this challenging piece of oral dexterity and why it is challenging! We will select a winner of Europe's most difficult utterances to then be featured on the EDL website.

Thank you for participating - this initiative is now closed - a compilation of videos will be made available online in the course of November.

Word of the year

Every year, countries throughout Europe participate in the tradition of selecting a "word of the year." Here are the words from the previous year!

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.

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!

Quote of the day:

Čudno je kako je malo potrebno da budemo sretni, i još čudnije: kako nam često baš to malo nedostaje. It is strange how little it takes to be happy, and even stranger how often just that little bit is missing.

By Ivo Andrić

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.

For fans of ‘Christmas cracker’ jokes – this is a must... You are most welcome to continue to submit new and even funnier jokes with a multilingual element for Volume 2...! View page

Яка це мова?

Нам всім відома така ситуація: в автобусі, кафе, на вулиці ми чуємо, як двоє людей розмовляють іноземною мовою. І нам цікаво, що це за мова. Давайте проведемо тут трохи тренувань, і наступного разу, коли це станеться з вами, ви легко впізнаєте мову!

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).
