Hi everyone,

It is widely agreed that speaking Luxembourgish is essential for a successful integration in Luxembourg. Do you agree? Share your experience!

Do you speak Luxembourgish? If so, where did you learn this language? Where can one attend a language course in Luxembourg?

If not, how do you cope with daily activities? Is it easy to communicate in a different language with Luxembourgers?

Thank you for sharing your experience.

The arguments against learning Luxembourgish are compelling

'Only' 390,000 people are believed to speak Luxembourgish

Most Luxembourgers speak a zillion languages, and have an amazing ability to adapt to different cultures

For shopping, you are better off learning French

French is the most widely used language in the workplace
