Culture and language

Description

Languages

National language: Luxembourgish (Lëtzebuergesch).

Administrative languages: French, German and Luxembourgish.

French is used in legislation, while Luxembourgish, German and French are used in administrations and for legal matters.

However, with so many foreigners living in Luxembourg, it is not surprising that most locals also speak English fluently. You will not have much trouble communicating in the language of Shakespeare.

Language courses

There are many schools, communes, associations, institutes and companies, where you can learn languages, for example, French, German, Luxembourgish, English, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish, Dutch and Chinese.

Some offers of the City of Luxembourg or other municipalities are very interesting price wise.
