Languages in Europe
● Europe’s population is more than DOUBLE the population of the US
● In the US, English is the dominant language
● Europe is home to more than 200 HUNDRED native languages
● A few language groups in Europe are dominant:
1) Germanic
2) Romance
3) Slavic
● Having so many languages can be a problem - difficult to live, work and trade with people who cannot communicate
● The European Union has 23 “official languages”!
● How to solve this “problem”? Teach schoolchildren other languages!
