Learning Luxembourgish can be tricky. But you want to get it right. Right? When you are learning Luxembourgish, a lot of effort is put in picking up vocabulary, spelling, reading and understanding. In the classroom, be it online or in a school, someone is at hand to listen, to support you and shape your learning.
