How many languages do you speak? 🗣️

26 September is European Day of Languages — a reminder that communication is at the heart of exploration.

Nowhere is this clearer than aboard the @iss, where astronauts and cosmonauts from different countries live and work together. Training patches, mission briefings, even daily life in orbit — they all rely on switching between languages to keep the crew connected and safe.

At ESA, with 23 Member States, our strength also lies in speaking (and listening) across cultures.

Tell us in the comments: what languages do you speak? And share your funniest or most memorable story from learning one — we’ve all had those moments!
