Luxembourgish language

Let’s learn Luxembourgish!

edit

This page is supposed to help you learn Luxembourgish. It is less about teaching Luxembourgish, but about learning it. So it is the learners who should come up with the terms or expressions they need, in order to get a translation. The idea is to create an interactive dictionary, to improve and expand the vocabulary. This dictionary should be mainly composed of images and audio files, to enable people with a different language background or reduced literacy skills to use it as well. As every dictionary, this is just a tool to help you increase your vocabulary. There will be no grammar or syntax lessons! Nevertheless, this site will provide you with the words you need to train the latter with the help of your teacher.

This is how it works

edit

As mentioned above, it is the learners who should come up with the terms and expressions they need, since the learning must be meaningful to them. They should take pictures of the objects they want to name in Luxembourgish, or they should record chunks of language or expressions, they want to have translated and upload them. Preferably, they should ask a proficient Luxembourgish speaker to provide the translation, record it and upload it onto this page, to make sure it is done when they need it.

To keep it as simple as possible, the terms are not organized alphabetically, but according to topics. For every topic, there is a table. In the first column you can find the images, and the following columns are for the respective languages, containing the audio files.

In case you need the translation of an expression, but you do not know anyone to translate it, make sure you add a translation of the expression in either English, French or German, beside your mother tongue, so that someone from Luxembourg can translate it for you.
