Multilinguism Within the European Union

Summary/Abstract: Multilinguism refers both to a situation where several languages are spoken within a specific geographical area and to the ability of a person to master several languages. The benefits of knowing foreign languages are undeniable. Language opens up the space for intercultural tolerance, facilitates working, studying and traveling and allows genuine intercultural communication. This paper attempts to present the attitude of the Europeans regarding the learning of foreign languages and special reference is made to the case of Romania and its mindset of linguistic diversity among the other European Member States.
