Learning About Europe with Fun Facts

• Europe only has a land area of 4 million square miles yet many of the most prominent empires came from there, including Great Britain, Rome, Russia, and the Spanish Empire.
• The name Europe came from the Greek word “eurus” which means wide. When you see the continent of Europe on a map, you understand why it was described as wide.
• Some say it can also be named after an Ancient Syrian word “ereb” which means sunset. I wonder if it is because the sun seemed to set there from Asia. Anyway, I have no idea.
• The continent of Europe is part of the landmass containing both Europe and some parts of Asia – Eurasia. So although they are separate continents, they still share a landmass.
• There are over 250 different languages that are spoken all throughout the continent of Europe.
• Fun fact – Europe is home to the very smallest country in the world, Vatican City, and the largest, Russia.
• Find out more random and cool facts here about Europe and its many countries.

Living in Europe

I remember living in Spain for three years as a young mom. I was blessed to have a job that sent me to many areas over Europe, providing training to military and military dependents.

My Spanish friends explained it was an absolute mandatory graduation requirement that students learn a second language in school. Knowing now that there are 250 languages in Europe alone explains why Spain made it a requirement that students learn a second language before heading out to the world.

Europe holds a special place in my heart. It was an amazing experience visiting places like Germany, Italy, Portugal, and more.
