This is a first in Luxembourg!
Learn Luxembourgish without learning grammar or vocabulary! Can it be done?
Yes! Thanks to Vera Birkenbihl's language learning method!
You will have a text with a word-for-word translation. By reading this translation you will realize how a Luxembourger thinks. This exercise will allow you to think like a Luxembourger and you will be able to speak Luxembourgish more fluently later. These texts are mainly from the book "Schwätzt Dir Lëtzebuergesch?" A1 (National Institute of Languages). This is the level you would need if you wanted to acquire Luxembourgish nationality.
You will also have the audio of the Luxembourgish text. You will first familiarize yourself with the text by listening to it. Then you will listen to the audio unconsciously for three days while continuing to do your daily tasks!
Each lesson consists of two parts. It is during the second lesson that you will start speaking Luxembourgish at the same time as the audio. This will allow you to overcome your shyness to speak! Since the audio is spoken by a Luxembourger, myself, you will learn to speak Luxembourgish more correctly.
This is a course that you will learn independently, so by yourself.
What you will absolutely need:
a printer
the book "Schwätzt Dir Lëtzebuergesch?" A1 (national institute of languages) ISBN 978-99959-40-02-7
a pen
colored markers
headphones or a HiFi system
Maybe also a Dropbox account
I have to confess something to you. I do not do this without ulterior motives. My goal is always that our children learn learning methods in primary school. That is my greatest wish.
You will discover that it is easy to learn another language this way. So that you do not get bored, I will present in almost every lesson tips or learning methods that will help you to successfully complete your studies (if you are a student) or to work more efficiently (if you have a job in which you have to read a lot).
So this is a course in which you will not only learn Luxembourgish. There are 24 lessons. Each lesson is in two parts.
