Each year on the 26th of September we celebrate the European Day of Languages. We celebrate this day because of linguistic diversity in Europe and it also promotes language learning. I speak two foreign languages, English and Spanish, but my favourite language is English because it is very popular and its popularity also influences its importance.
An interesting fact is that one language dies about every 14 days.

This day is important that we are aware off how important is that we know how to speak foreign languages to connect people culturally and economically. For us, Slovene, is the most important, because we are so small. There are only 2 million people that speak Slovene. It is also very important to take care of our language, that it won't die to soon.
