IES LA ARBOLEDA CELEBRATES THE EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES

Students at 4th ESO celebrated the European Day of Languages by performing international idioms in different languages and manufacturing "top hats" which helped us to identify each country.

Bravo for them!!

EUROPEAN DAY OF LANGUAGES 2014

A day to celebrate languages and language learning.

What better way to represent Europe’s rich heritage of languages than by encouraging people to initiate conversations with speakers of the many different languages spoken around the continent?

The "Talk to Me" slogan has been used for the Day of Languages since 2003 when a set of stickers in 41 official languages of the Council of  Europe's member states were first launched.

To test out your recognition of Europe's different languages why not try out our Talk to me game?

The slogan has also formed the basis of a video clip developed by the Norwegian authorities which was played at cinemas around the country.
