UN English Language Day Event

30Apr2024

Welcome to a journey through language! English started small, spoken by a tiny tribe in Europe long ago. But now, it's everywhere! It's the language people use for travel, business, TV, school, computers, and talking between countries.

UN English Language Day celebrates the importance of the English language all around the world. This event will showcase all the countries where people speak English, discuss the regional diversity in the pronunciation and usage of English words and phrases, and emphasize the crucial role English plays in connecting people from all over the world.
