European Day of Languages
by Andżelika Walak
Hi! We are a group of students from 7c of our school. We want to tell you about the European Day of Languages.
This day is a celebration of all the different languages and cultures in Europe. It encourages us to learn a new language and reminds us how useful language learning can be. Since it was first celebrated in 2001, this year marks the 20th anniversary of European Day of Languages!
On this occasion, various events take place across Europe in order to spread awareness of the importance of learning languages.
How can we learn different languages? We, young students, learn them when we watch films or while playing computer games.
You can ask: Why should we learn other languages? Why do we need them? Well, foreign languages help us communicate with other people.

There are many reasons why learning a new language is a good idea. First of all, it allows you to communicate with people. Secondly, it helps you to see things from a different perspective and get a deeper understanding of another culture. Furthermore, it has health benefits, as studies have shown that people who speak two or more languages have more active minds later in life.
In 2021 speaking languages is really important. A lot of people are immigrating to other countries, but they can’t even ask for anything or buy something because they can’t speak the language.
You may ask: “Alright, but how to learn different languages?”
We’ll show you how!!! We are sure, that you’re spending a lot of time playing video games on your computer, and you do watch a lot of videos on the Internet. Just make sure to change the subtitles for the language that you want to learn and make the audio in your language. That’s how you can learn a foreign language fast! You can also use a translator for example translating the text of your favourite song, just to know what they sing about. We think that these are really great ideas to learn languages fast.

In our world, we have many different languages. It is impossible to know them all and that is why we have one universal language – English.
However, even if we have one universal language it doesn’t mean we can’t learn more. There is only one tiny problem – learning languages is hard.
So, how to learn easily???
There is something that can help you to study other languages. The easiest way is the Internet. On the Internet, we have so much information about other countries and their languages. There are so many fun games that can help a lot. Reading books is also very helpful. Of course, learning from a dictionary can help, too but it is very boring for young people. In our times’ teenagers prefer meeting their friends on the Internet, they also meet new people there and they communicate with them in different languages.
We have to remember that learning languages is very important to understand each other.
