Language learning builds bridges between people and cultures. It helps us share ideas, develop trust and cooperation, and create stronger, more connected communities.

The EU has 24 official languages: Bulgarian, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Irish, Italian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Maltese, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish and Swedish.

But Europe’s linguistic landscape is even richer than that. People also speak more than 60 regional and minority languages, plus many brought by migrant communities.
