Celebrate the European Day of Languages by hosting a language quiz or setting a language challenge. Here are some of our favourite challenges and quizzes - why not give them a try!

1. A-Z language challenge

The A to Z Challenge was first launched in 2005 when CILT produced its A to Z of Languages and Careers.

It's easy - just identify which languages you can say hello in, from a to z. Don't worry if you can't do one for each letter of the alphabet, you might find that you know more than you think!

You can do this on your own, with friends, your whole class, school or company. Have fun!

Don't forget, the A to Z of languages and activities contains 26 hidden spiders. Download the spiders pdf to check where they are. (pdf 2.35MB)
