To celebrate the European day of languages on 26th September 2019 we are giving away 3 subscriptions to Babbel! You could win a one-year, 6-month or 3-month subscription to boost your next language-learning journey.
At Eurac Research, we believe that everyone is multilingual! We all use different languages e.g. French or Basque, and forms of language e.g. regional dialects, computer languages, Braille, sign language, body language, gestures, fictional languages, secret languages, slang, …
Our linguists would like to know: what do your languages mean to you? Can you tell us with a photo of a particular object, a special moment or situation…? Don’t forget to include a short caption explaining your picture.
Our team of linguists will carefully evaluate each entry based on its creativity and originality. As well as a Babbel subscription worth up to €80, the top 3 photos will also be shown at the One School Many Languages project conference on 27th November 2019 at Eurac research, Bolzano, Italy.
Upload your photo, write a caption and tag #euraclangs on Facebook @eurac.research or Instagram @euracresearch by 11th October 2019 for your chance to win. Make sure that your post is PUBLIC so that we can see your pictures!
