Our language courses

We focus on the power of dialogue on a daily basis. Our professional and committed language training team offers you courses in a pleasant and inspiring learning environment, so that you can develop your command of the language of your choice in the best possible conditions.

100 minutes of language practice

Our language offer is entirely based on the guidelines of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). We cover all language levels, starting with A1. Our teaching units are 100 minutes long and make use of all the language resources of our learners. Our methodology focuses on the activation of oral communication and reinforces independent language practice, encourages reflection on learning processes and invites regular self-assessment.

The European Commission has set itself the objective of promoting a culture of lifelong learning. In this context, the Luxembourg government supports the learning of the Luxembourg language through a system of grants for Lëtzebuergësch courses.
