UK Trade and Investment, the government organisation providing language supppport to companies in the UK doing business Internationally and the international trade arm of the East Midlands Development Agency appoints Elanga International as its chosen contractor to design and deliver a one day Spanish interactive language learning seminar in Derby to celebrate the European day of languages on September the 26th 2009. The course will be available to individuals who already have a working knowledge of Spanish and they will be employees of companies already engaged in export. More to come on this story later.


I hope that the “European Day of Languages” will encourage many people to learn a new language. Especially in the United Kingdom where the interest in learning language seems to be declining.
The Council of Europe already uses Esperanto to promote EDL at http://edl.ecml.at/Abouttheday/PDFs/tabid/1860/language/en-GB/language/en-GB/Default.aspx
However your readers may not know that this planned language also has great propaedeutic values. See http://www.experiencefestival.com/forum/Video-Collection/Propaedeutic%20Value%20Of%20Esperanto/Page_1
