European Day of Languages

Mrs Cook, Head of Modern Foreign Languages

27th September 2022

This week we have been celebrating The European Day of Languages, celebrated each year on 26th of  September. 

The main aims of the day are:  

• to raise awareness of the importance of language learning; 

• to promote the rich linguistic and cultural diversity present in Europe; 

• to encourage lifelong language learning in and out of school. 

In class we learnt tongue twisters, how to say ‘hello’ in a European language and listened to different languages from across Europe. We also had a delicious meal on Monday inspired by food from Hungary, Italy, France and the Netherlands!  

The boys have also been sharing their own language learning experiences from home or their travels.
