Since 2017, we've had great success with our series of "Talk with a Luxembourger" (TWAL) classes. Each lesson is structured around a conversational topic but doesn't include any new grammar. The aim is to speak and have a teacher present to correct your mistakes.

This TWAL A1 class can be taken by anyone who is currently taking, or has previously taken an A1 Conversation class. If you’ve had A1 level lessons with another language school, please email me to confirm this is a suitable class before booking: learnluxembourgish@gmail.com

TWAL classes are an excellent way to consolidate your knowledge that you've gained in the other classes and to improve your fluency.

We have 8 topics for this TWAL A1 class: sech virstellen, iwwer d’Deeg am Joer a säi Gebuertsdag schwätzen, iwwer d’Aarbecht schwätzen, iwwer seng Fräizäit schwätzen, akafe goen, seng Famill beschreiwen, seng Wunneng beschreiwen, en Tour duerch d’Stad an d’Land maachen.

Cancellations are accepted until immediately after lesson 1, at which point we refund the course fee minus a 50€ deposit.

Course fees for the 8 lessons:

• 400€ in total for a private one-on-one class (each lesson lasting around 45 minutes)

• 200€/person in a two-person class (each lesson lasting around 45 minutes)

• 180€/person in a three-person class (each lesson lasting around 45 minutes)

A week before your lessons, you will be sent a paragraph in Luxembourgish (+ audio) relating to the conversational topic together with some activities. The idea is for you to understand the general meaning of the Luxembourgish audio text, get used to common Luxembourgish sentences and develop an ear for the language. During the lessons, you will become more comfortable making your own sentences.

During your lessons, you will view the lesson material on our interactive virtual whiteboard and the teacher will ask you questions relating to the conversational topic to which you will answer in Luxembourgish.

The objective is to make sure you're able to have the basic conversations that the A1 level aims for.

The course is held in Luxembourgish (with the exception of the occasional English explanation).

The TWAL A1 Skype class is certified by the Ministry of Education in Luxembourg and qualifies for the 24 hours of Luxembourgish lessons needed to receive the Luxembourgish nationality if you've lived in Luxembourg for at least 20 years.

This class also qualifies for a refund of up to 750€ for Luxembourgish lessons from the Justice Ministry in Luxembourg for students who have passed the Sproochentest or received citizenship after 24 hours of lessons.

Currently, we are signing up for:

• a three-person TWAL A1 class starting on January 27, 2025, taking place once/week for 8 weeks on Mondays at 8am Luxembourg time (teacher: Michelle) - currently 2 spots available

• a three-person TWAL A1 class starting on January 26, 2025, taking place once/week for 8 weeks on Sundays at 6.15pm Luxembourg time (teacher: Léa) - currently 1 spot available
