European Day of Languages 26 September 2011 is Bloggingportal day

It is time to remember the annual 26 September European Day of Languages, now into its 10th edition. Language learning is at the heart of the objectives, so become inspired.

The European Day of Languages is arranged jointly by the Council of Europe and the European Union, as well as by a plethora of organisers in the member states.

Why not make a good resolution by starting a daily check of the multilingual aggregator of euroblogs, Bloggingportal.eu, with 853 blogs already listed? A fun and profitable way to learn languages while getting to know Europe from new angles.

Today, 2011 CE could also be your Day of Multilingual Blogging.

Brush up your Shakespeare, Goethe, Molière, Dante, Cervantes or whoever: Day of Multilingual Blogging

Yes, brush up your Shakespeare, Goethe, Molière, Dante, Cervantes or whoever, or start learning a new language.



Tomorrow, Sunday 26 September 2010, people all over Europe celebrate the European Day of Languages, organised by the Council of Europe and the European Union as an inspiration to language learning.



For bloggers in Europe there is a special event on the Internet tomorrow: the Day of Multilingual Blogging. The blog post behind the link offers some suggestions how you can participate, as well as information about the event, the Facebook page and the Twitter hashtag #babel. Because the event is arranged by the Commission Representation in London, and the information is in English, it is especially important that bloggers spread the word in other languages too.

For a richer life, knock aside a few linguistic or national borders and join the blogging carnival!

P.S. Comments relevant to the topic discussed in each Grahnlaw blog post are most welcome. However, the number of spam comments has skyrocketed. This is the sad reason for comment moderation, so it may take a while before your valued comment appears.

It is easier to understand a language than to use it correctly. As Eurobloggers we could and should promote interaction among Europeans across borders and between linguistic communities. Grahnlaw has adopted a multilingual comment policy:

I do my best to read comments in Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish or Swedish, even if the Grahnlaw blog and my possible replies are in English.
