Imagine that you will have learned so much Luxembourgish that you can …
… meet people and being able to, introduce yourself and make new friends
… feel confident enough by having short small talk conversations about your everyday life
… talk about your likes and dislikes
… go to the local market and buy fruits and vegetables
…. discuss the plans of the upcoming weekend with friends
In all these situations, you can hold your ground in a real-life short conversation in Luxembourgish. Not without mistakes, of course.
But you know what to expect and what to say, and you understand quite well what others are saying to you.
Imagine being able to achieve all this without boring text books and having to learn lots of grammar rules by heart?
Wouldn't that be cool?
Well it’s possible with the course A1 Foundation.
