Languages
People in Europe speak many diferent languages. Most of these languages belong to three large groups or ‘families’: Germanic, Slavic and Romance. The languages in each group share a family likeness because they are descended from the same ancestors. For example, Romance languages are
descended from Latin — the language spoken by the Romans.

It’s not hard to see the family likeness in these examples. But there are other European languages that are less closely
related, or not at all related, to one another.

Languages
In the language of the Roma people, who live in many parts of Europe, ‘Good morning’ is Lasho dyes. Learning languages can be great fun — and it’s important on a continent like ours. Many of us enjoy going on holiday to other European countries and getting to know the people there. That’s a great opportunity to practise the phrases we know in diferent languages.

Activity 2: Languages
Using the app "Duolingo", we're going to conduct an experiment. 

For the next 15 minutes, we're going to practice using Spanish using the app. During the next EIO lesson, I will quiz you on how much we remember and what we remember from our little Spanish lesson.
