Languages of Europe Today you are going to draw a “tree” that will show the different types of languages that are spoken in Europe. It would be good if you had your colored pencils, markers, or crayons today. (Probably colored pencils or thin markers would be best.) NOTE: on the following slides DON’T WRITE WHAT IS IN RED… just read it and do it.
