Celebrating European Day of Languages

With my colleague and Slovene language lector, Maja, and the Slovenian Ambassador, Sanja Štiglic.

Across Europe, from the rolling hills of Slovenia to the sunlit shores of North Macedonia, languages carry the essence of who we are. They hold the wisdom of our ancestors, the rhythm of our cultures, and the dreams of future generations.

To speak another language is to step into another soul’s reality, to see the world through fresh eyes. In a continent so rich with voices, accents, and dialects, let us not only celebrate our own tongues but also embrace the beauty of those we do not yet understand.

For in language, we find not division, but connection. And in understanding, we find unity.

Happy European Day of Languages!
