Yes, I know what you are thinking, today is the Book Day, and I encourage everybody to live incredible adventures and travel to exciting places through books, only reading the pages of a good book.
But today is also the English Language Day. It was established by the UNESCO in 2010, seeking "to celebrate multilingualism and cultural diversity as well as promote equal use of all six of its official working languages throughout the organization".
23rd April is the anniversary of William Shakespeare's death, so it was chosen as the date for the English Language Day. It is the time of the year when English language is appreciated for the advantages it provides in an international level. It is the time to appreciate its rich history, cultural impact and its strange grammar and vocabulary. Happy English Language Day!
