The Instituto Cervantes in Amman celebrates the linguistic diversity on the European Day of Languages. On this special occasion, we come together to celebrate the rich tapestry of languages that adorn the European continent.
What's the linguistic landscape of Europe?
Spanning 47 countries, Europe hosts an impressive 225 indigenous languages. Many of these languages share remarkable similarities, yet they comprise just about 3 percent of all languages globally. Among the most widely spoken languages in Europe are French, Spanish, German, English, and Italian.
Embracing a new language brings forth numerous advantages. Beyond expanding communication horizons, it opens doors to enhanced career opportunities. Moreover, language acquisition contributes to mental agility, refining memory, argumentative prowess, and problem-solving skills.
So, why wait? Join us and immerse yourself in inspiration with music, entertainment, and a variety of activities - all related to the languages of Europe. And who knows, you might just decide to embark on your own language-learning journey.
Happy European Day of Languages! Don’t miss it!
