EXERCISE  

Imagine you work for a tourist agency in Europe. Choose an EU countriy of your interest and make a pitch of 1 minute aimed at tourists. For example, how many people live in them and what are their capital cities? What do they have to offer to visitors (food, culture, language and so on)?

How many official languages does the EU have and why?

DOBRÓ ÚTRO / BUENOS DÍAS/ DOBRÉ RÁNO / GODMORGEN GUTEN MORGEN / TERE HOMMIKUST/ KALIMERA / GOOD MORNING /BONJOUR / DIA DUIT /DOBRO JUTRO / BUONGIORNO /LABAS RYTAS / LABRĪT JÓ NAPOT / L-GĦODWA T-TAJBA GOEDEMORGEN / DZIEŃ DOBRY / BOM DIA BUNĂ DIMINEAŢA / DOBRÉ RÁNO DOBRO JUTRO / HYVÄÄ HUOMENTA GOD MORGON

The European Union has 24 official languages.

Why are there so many? The EU would not exist without its

Member States and citizens. As a democratic organisation, it has

to communicate with the governments of the Member States,

its citizens, its companies and its public bodies in their own

language. People have the right to know what is being done in

their name. They must also be able to get actively involved in

EU affairs without first having to learn a foreign language. 

How did it all started?
