From special events and games to language cafés and hands-on activities, there's something for everyone. On or around 26 September, the European Commission organises events and activities across EU countries to mark the European Day of Languages.
You don’t need to be fluent or even actively learning a language to join in. All you need is an interest and a willingness to try.
