Fiera tal-Lingwi/Language Fair - European Day of Languages 2022

The European Day of Languages celebrates Europe’s rich linguistic heritage, and on Sunday, 25 September, we will have a small language fair to open a window onto this heritage. You will have the opportunity to try your hand at different European languages with native speakers, including French, Spanish, and even Hungarian.

Foreigners living in Malta will be able to learn some more Maltese apart from “mela”, while members of deaf people’s associations in Malta will be there to teach Maltese sign language to participants. There will also be readings in different languages, as well as a live set by Alexandra Alden. There will also be material related to languages, including games, books and even t-shirts.

Participation is free and open to everyone. The event is being organised by the European Commission and l-Għaqda tal-Malti, with the participation of the National Council for the Maltese Language, the Maltese Sign Language council, the Spanish Embassy in Malta, the Embassy of Hungary in Rome, the Akkademja tal-Malti, the Department of German at UOM, Alliance Francaise, the Maltese Sign Language Council, the Deaf People Association Malta, the Deaf Youth Association Malta, Inizjamed, Global Translation Solutions, as well as other volunteers, with the support of Danusan.

Il-Jum Ewropew tal-Lingwi jiċċelebra l-wirt lingwistiku għani tal-Ewropa, u nhar il-Ħadd, 25 ta’ Settembru, se jkollna fiera ċkejkna tal-lingwi biex niftħu tieqa fuq dan il-wirt. Se jkollok iċ-ċans li tipprova lingwi Ewropej differenti ma’ kellima nattivi, fosthom il-Franċiż, l-Ispanjol u saħansitra l-Ungeriż. 

Il-barranin li jgħixu Malta se jkunu jistgħu jitgħallmu ftit iktar kliem bil-Malti apparti minn “mela”, filwaqt li se jkun hemm membri mill-għaqdiet tal-persuni neqsin mis-smigħ li se jkunu qed juruna l-lingwa tas-sinjali. Se jkun hemm qari b’lingwi differenti, kif ukoll kunċert ta’ Alexandra Alden. Se jkun qed jitqassam ukoll materjal b’rabta mal-lingwi, inkluż logħob, fuljetti u flokkijiet.
