Ep 56Watgelift?
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.But how can you make sure you understand what’s going on once you go out and begin to practice your Luxembourgish? Often as we begin to practice our new-found language skills,We realize that the way words sound in conversation can be very different from how we learned originally.Accents, speed, slang and idiomatic variances can mean we feel very lost – almost as if the other person isn’t speaking Luxembourgish at all.Learn now which words to use when you’re not quite sure what someone is telling you:Formal:These short phrases are polite ways to communicate that you didn’t hear or don’t understand something in Luxembourgish:Watgelift? – Sorry… what did you say?or you can simply say: Pardon?Longer formal sentences:These sentences will help you when you don’t understand something even though you have heard it.Pardon, kënnt Dir méi lues schwätzen? – Excuse me, can you (formal) speak more slowly?Pardon, kënnt Dir dat widderhuelen, wgl?* – Excuse me, can you (formal) repeat that please?*Useful sentence to ask the examiner in the oral part of the Sproochentest!Informal:These are more common, casual, conversational ways to ask someone to repeat themselves, or communicate your lack of understanding. Some are more informal than others.Glift? – Short & spoken form of “watgelift”or a little more informal:Nach eng Kéier? – Again? (one more time?)Wat hues du gesot? – What did you say?Wat? – sometimes this can seem aggressive, be careful!Hmm? – a sound used when you are a bit more absent-minded or maybe not listening so hard.IdiomsIdioms are sayings particular to their language of origin. Ech soen dir geschwë watgelift! – is used when you are fed up of the behaviour of a person and you want them to stop, otherwise you’ll get angry very soon.Mäi Papp kennt kee Pardon! – My father takes firm measures regardless the opinion of others.Dat ass chineesesch fir mech. – lit: that’s Chinese for me. = I don’t understand a clue.
Ep 55Let’s talk about the Winter in Luxembourgish
It’s winter, so I thought it would be the ideal opportunity to talk about the weather and the various traditional events we generally do in winter, especially in Luxembourg. Did you know the seasons are a topic of the Sproochentest Oral Exam? If your goal is to sit the language exam to acquire Luxembourgish citizenship in the upcoming months, then tune in.

Ep 536 different ways to say NO in Luxembourgish
Let me put you to the test: do you know how to say no in Lux? This is NEE is very short and negative. However, sometimes when we wish to say no, depending on the situation and the persons you surrounded with then saying NEE can sound a bit harsh.Imagine that you are in a Luxembourgish café or restaurant, the waiter may ask you if you’d like something else. But you’re fine. Then saying Nee would sound a bit harsh, doesn’t it?So when we wish to say NEE there are more polite ways to do it. I have set out below a number of different ways to say NEE that you can use in different circumstances. Sometimes when we want to say NEE we try not to be rude or to hurt someone’s feelings so we prefer to use a variety of words that still mean NEE. I am thrilled to not only share in this episode some useful Luxembourgish words for no but also several very useful expressions.And we’re going to practice saying each of these expressions together naturally so that you can make sure you’re saying NEE the right way.Prett?Nee – NoThis is the traditional way to say no in Luxembourgish. You might hear some people saying Neen, but it is just to emphasize the negation. Example:Child: Mamma, kréien ech nach eng Cola? – Mom, can I have another coke?Mother: Nee(n)! Du hues haut genuch Cola gedronk. – No! You’ve had enough coke for today.In some situations, answering Nee can come across as rude though. so you may want to say Nee merci instead.Nee Merci. – No thank you. When you buy something at the bakery or order a meal at a restaurant, the waiter or seller is likely to ask you if you’d like something else. If you don’t want anything else you can simply say Nee merci or you can answer:Nee merci, dat ass alles. – No thank you, that’s all.Nee merci, ‘t ass alles an der Rei. – No thank you, I’m fine.Or in case someone is offering you some help but you can manage alone you can answer:Nee merci, dat geet schonn. – No thank you, I’m fine.Nee merci, ech ginn eens. – No thank you, I’ll manage.Ni – neverIf you want to say you’ll never do or never did something, you can use niWaars du schonn a Schottland? – Have you (informal) ever been to Scotland?Nee, nach ni. – No, never (so far).Leider net – Unfortunately notThis is a way often used to politely decline requests while pretending you really wished you could help.Kann ech e Remboursement kréien? – Can I get a refund?Leider net. – Unfortunately not.Nach net! – Not yet!If you’re supposed to do something, but didn’t do it yet, you can use nach net.Hues dee Film scho gesinn? – Did you see that movie already?Nee, nach net. – No, not yet.Et deet mir leed …. – I’m sorry ….You can decline any offer by starting your answer with Et deet mer leed …Let’s talk about how to say this. So when spoken, ‘Et’ is not pronounced and instead of mir native speakers say mer and thus it will sound like this: deet mer leed …. (Watch the video above to practice the pronunciation)And then you can add the following phrases after Et deet mer leed …. … mee dat geet (leider) net. – …. but I (afraid) can’t.Et deet mer leed, mee dat geet leider net. –I’m sorry, but I’m afraid I can’t. …. dat ass leider net méiglech. – …. I’m afraid that’s not possible.…. mee ech hu (leider) keng Zäit. – … but I’m (afraid) I have no time.…. mee ech hu schonn eppes vir. – …. but I’ve already something planned.Some useful casual ways to say noThese are often used in every day life conversations. Learn them so to recognise these in conversations and to be able to use them as well.Ech mengen net. – I don’t believe so.Wahrscheinlech net. – Probably not.Net datt ech wéisst. – Not at my knowledge.To say a STRONG NEE you can use one of the following expressions (with someone you know very well!!):Dat kënnt net a Fro! – That’s out of question! / No way!Nimools! – Never ever!Bestëmmt net! – Certainly not.Lets practiceTry to translate the following sentences into Luxembourgish:I’m afraid, that’s not possible.I don’t have time on Friday.I’m sorry, but I’m afraid I can’t come to your party on Saturday.That’s unfortunately not possible.No thank you, I’m fine.Unfortunately not.Website: https://luxembourgishwithanne.luSproochentest Oral Exam Prep Class:https://courses.luxembourgishwithanne.lu/p/oralexamFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/luxembourgishwithanne.lu/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luxembourgishwithanne/?hl=enLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/80364342/admin/feed/postsYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh7_kWqrLaZea-IJH46KJEA

Ep 50The 3 pronouns you need to master: en – se – et
Do you know what a pronoun is? 🤔 Pronouns are those small but mighty words that replace nouns, referring to a person, thing, or even an animal. In this episode, we’re diving deep into the pronouns you need to master in Luxembourgish when talking about objects and animals: en, se, and et! 💬In English, you'd simply say it, but in Luxembourgish, the choice of pronoun depends on the gender of the noun! Let’s break it down together and make sure you know exactly when to use en, se, or et!The Pronoun referring to feminine things – seLet’s imagine that you have a conversation with a colleague and he / she asks you:Um wéi vill Auer ass d’Reunioun? – At what time is the meeting?Now you can answer by repeating the word d’Reunioun:D’Reunioun ass um zwou Auer. – The meeting is at 2pm.But in natural spoken Luxembourgish you won’t repeat d’Reunioun, instead you would replace it by using the pronoun se for feminine things →Se ass um zwou Auer.Anert Beispill – other exampleD’Kaz ass schéin. Se ass schéin. – The cat is beautiful. It / she is beautiful. The Pronoun referring to masculine things – enLet’s imagine that you intend to buy the mobile phone of a friend and you ask him / her:Wéi vill verkeefs du den Handy? – How much do you sell the mobile phone?Now he / she may answer by repeating the word den Handy:Ech verkafen den Handy fir 250€. – I sell the mobile phone for 250€.But in natural spoken language you won’t repeat den Handy instead you would replace it by using the pronoun en for masculine things →Ech verkafen e* fir 250€. – I sell it for 250€.*Don’t forget the n-rule!Anert Beispill – other exampleDe Schockela ass gutt. En ass gutt. – The chocolate is good. It is good. The Pronoun referring to neuter things – etLet’s imagine that you have a conversation with a friend about his new flat:Wou ass d’ Appartment dann an der Stad? – Where is the flat located in Luxembourg city?Now he / she may answer by repeating the word d’Appartement:Mäin Appartment ass zu Bouneweg. – My flat is in Bonnevoie.But normally you won’t repeat d’ Appartment instead you would replace it by using the pronoun et for neuter things →Et ass zu Bouneweg. – It is in Bonnevoie.Remark: Et ass is reduced to ‘t ass in spoken Luxembourgish: →’t ass zu Bouneweg.Anert Beispill – other exampleD’Haus ass zimlech nei. ’t ass zimlech nei. – The house is quite new. It’s quite new. Watch this lesson on Youtube!Pronoun referring to plural things – seLet’s imagine that you ask a waiter for the toilets in a restaurant:Wou sinn d’Toiletten wann ech gelift? – Where are the toilets, please?Now you may answer by repeating the word d’Toiletten:D’Toilette sinn um 1. Stack. – The toilets are on the 1. floor.But you can replace d’Toiletten by using the pronoun se for plural things →Se sinn um 1. Stack. – They are on the 1. floor.Anert Beispill – other exampleD’ Kleeder sinn al. Se sinn al. – The clothes are old. They are old. Übung (exercise)Find the correct pronoun:Wou sinn d’Tasen? ______ sinn am Kicheschaf. (d’Tasen= the cups)Hues du mäi Brëll gesinn? Nee, ech hunn ______ net gesinn. (mäi Brëll = my glasses)Wéi vill kascht d’Luucht? _______ kascht 99€. (d’Luucht = the lamp)Ass dat e neit Hiem? Jo, ech hunn ______ an der Vakanz kaaft. (en Hiem = a shirt)Now you're ready to start mastering the nuances of Lux pronouns, right. So, practice a little bit, and don’t be afraid to dive deeper into the language with us.

Ep 49Learn how to continue a conversation in Luxembourgish
In episode 19 you learned how to start a conversation in Luxembourgish. In this episode, you will learn a) the secret to becoming more fluent and improving your Luxembourgish; b) how to keep a conversation going, without running out of things to say!Let’s start with the secret to becoming more fluent and improving your Luxembourgish: this is so simple: you might be surprised: ASK MORE QUESTIONSAnd we will at the end of the episode practice with two example conversations – an informal one using the du-form and a formal one using the Dir-form. Are you ready to learn this secret and master an everyday conversation?Bass du prett? Da lass!Most of the topics of small talk conversations include an observation followed by a question. This is the best way to get people talking about themselves.Talking about your next holidaysThe holidays are always an interesting topic. Usually people like talking about their next holidays. Here are some useful phrases to start a conversation about that topic. An easy and straightforward question:Wouhi gees du dëst Joer an d’Vakanz? – Where are you (informal) going on holidays this year?But if you want something more original, try this:Endlech! Déi nächst Woch ass Schoulvakanz. Hutt dir schonn eppes vir? Finally! Next week is school holidays. Do you (plural) have already something planned?Ech fueren, wéi ëmmer, am Februar an de Wantersport. An du? Gees du och am Wanter an d’Vakanz? – I go, as always, in February in the winter sports. What about you (informal)? Do you go as well on holidays in winter?Here’s an example of how NOT to have an Luxembourgish conversation:War däi Weekend flott? – Did you have a nice weekend?Jo. An däin? – Yes. And how was yours?Majo, och flott. – Well, nice as well.Unfortunately, the conversation stops here because there’s no natural way to continue it. This is OK if you only want to have a quick conversation (for example, if you are quickly passing a co-worker in the hallway). But how can you have a longer conversation in Luxembourgish?2 KEYS to continuing a conversation in Luxembourgish1 Ask questions that start with the question words Wat, Wéini, Wou, Firwat and Wéi. Try to avoid yes/no questions.2 In your answers, give one or two details that will help continue the conversation. You don’t need to talk for a long time.Example of Luxembourgish ConversationsHere are two example conversations – an informal one using the du-form and a formal one using the Dir-form. Notice how each person adds one or two details, and then there is a follow-up question about the details. Moien! An, wéi war däi Weekend? Zimmlech flott! E Samschdeg ware mir bei Frënn agelueden an e Sonndeg war ech mat menge Kanner an de Kino. Flott. Wat sidd dir da kucke gaang? Den EMOJI!An? Wéi war en? De Kanner huet de Film natierlech gutt gefall. An du? Wat hues du de Weekend gemaach? Net esou vill. E Samschdeg sinn ech doheem bliwwen a sonndes moies ginn ech jo ëmmer lafen.Ah sou? Wéi laang leefs du dann? Normalerweis tëscht 45 Minutten an eng Stonn. Leefs du eleng?Jo, leider. Hues de Loscht eng Kéier matzekommen?”Oh nee, dat ass net menges. Ech gi just gär schwammen.A wouhi gees du da schwammen?…Hello! And, how was your weekend?Quite nice! On Saturday we were invited at some friends and on Sunday I went with my kids to the cinema.Nice. Which movie have you been watching?EMOJIAnd? How was it?Of course, the children liked the movie. And how about you? What have you done last Weekend?Not sou much. I stayed at home on Saturday and on Sunday mornings I always go running.Oh, really? How long do you run?Usually between 45 minutes and one hour.Do you run alone?Yes unfortunately. Would like to come with me once?Oh no, that is not my cup of tea. I just like to go swimming.And where do you go swimming?

Ep 483 Important Rules about Word Order - Part 2
In the last episode, we covered the 3 key rules for word order in Luxembourgish independent clauses. Now, we dive into dependent or subordinate clauses. But what does that mean? 🤔Subordinate clauses are those parts of a sentence that can’t stand alone and need another part to complete their meaning. These clauses bring a new set of word order rules in Luxembourgish, and here’s an important tip: 🔑 The conjugated verb is always placed at the end of a subordinate clause.Curious to learn more? Tune in to master these more advanced sentence structures!Bass du prett?A Subordinate Clause is introduced bya subordinating conjunction: datt, ob, well, wann, etcor in the case of relative clauses by a relative pronoun deen, déi, dat.Here are some examples of subordinate clauses in Luxembourgish and English. Notice that each Luxembourgish subordinate clause (in bold type) is set off by a comma.Examples: a) Ech weess net, ob hien haut kënnt. I don’t know if / whether he comes today.b) Ech ginn haut net an d’Schwämm, well ech krank sinn. I don’t go to the swimming pool today because I am sick.c) Dat ass de Mann, dee mir gëschter gesinn hunn. That’s the man (that/whom) we saw yesterday.d) Wann d’Wieder schéin ass, ginn ech lafen. – If the weather is good, I’ll go running.As you can see above, a Luxembourgish subordinate clause always starts with a subordinating conjunction and ends with the conjugated verb.The ONE thing you must remember is that when a sentence starts with a subordinate clause, as in example d), the very first word after the comma (before the main clause) MUST be the verb: Wann d’Wieder schéin ass, ginn ech lafen. Subordinating & other ConjunctionsOne important aspect of learning to deal with subordinate clauses is to be familiar with the subordinating conjunctions that introduce them.All of the subordinating conjunctions require the conjugated verb to go at the end of the clause they introduce.Learning Tip:Another technique for learning conjunctions is to learn the ones that are NOT subordinating, called coordinating conjunctions, since there are fewer of those. The coordinating conjunctions with normal word order are:awer / mee (but), oder (or), entweder/oder (either/or) an (and).Examples:Meng Eltere waren och am Kino, awer ech hu si net gesinn. – My parents were also at the movies, but I didn’t see them.Du kanns mir d’Suen direkt ginn, oder du bezils dono. – You can give me the money straight away or you can pay later.Entweder du waarts hei op eis, oder du gees mat. – Either you wait for us here, or you come with us.Remark: After an, the subject (if it remains the same) can often be omitted because it is understood, so the verb often follows it immediately:Ech iesse moies eng Schmier an drénken dobäi Téi. – I eat a slice of bread in the morning and to that I drink tea. The word wéi is also used in comparisons (méi grouss wéi, bigger than), in which case it is not a subordinating conjunction. As always, you have to look at the context in which a word appears in a sentence.Learn the most important Coordinating & Subordinate Conjunctions and practice with many exercises with my 10-Day-Course: Basics of Luxembourgish Sentence StructureÜbung Dat sinn d’Kanner, déi hei an der Strooss wunnen.Ech hoffen, datt d’Wieder an der Vkanz gutt gëtt.Et reent, mee ech ginn awer an de Park lafen.Website: https://luxembourgishwithanne.luSproochentest Oral Exam Prep Class:https://courses.luxembourgishwithanne.lu/p/oralexamFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/luxembourgishwithanne.lu/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luxembourgishwithanne/?hl=enLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/80364342/admin/feed/postsYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh7_kWqrLaZea-IJH46KJEA
Ep 473 important rules about the word order in Luxembourgish
There are cases in which Luxembourgish and English word order are identical,however the word order in Luxembourgish is more variable and flexible than in English. In particular, sentences need not begin with the subject. BUT there are strict rules determining the position of the VERB and there are a few other rules to bear in mind.1. The Verb is Always the Second ElementNo matter which element begins a Luxembourgish declarative sentence (a statement), the verb is always the second element. If you remember nothing else about Luxembourgish word order, remember this. The subject for instance ech, den Hond, Meng Kanner, d’Haus will either come first or immediately after the verb if the subject is not the first element. This is a simple and fast rule. In a statement (not a question) the verb always comes second.This rule applies to sentences and phrases that are independent clauses.A “normal” word order places the subject first, the verb second, and any other elements third.Examples:Ech léieren haut Lëtzebuergesch. – I learn Luxembourgish today.Haut léieren ech Lëtzebuergesch. – Today I learn Luxembourgish. (Lit: Today learn I Luxembourgish)Remark:“in second position” or “second place,” means the second element, NOT necessarily the second word.Only one element can precede the verb, but it may consist of more than one word, for example Haut den Owend.In such cases, the verb remains second and the subject must immediately follow the verb:⇒Haut den Owend léieren ech Lëtzebuergesch. –This evening I learn Luxembourgish.⇒Um wéi vill Auer bass du muer doheem. –At what time are you at home tomorrow2. Time, Manner and Place: Wéini, Wéi, WouAnother area where Luxembourgish syntax may vary from that of English is the position of expressions of time wéini?, manner wéi? and place wou?In English we would say, Tom is coming home by train today. English word order in such cases is place, manner, time… the exact opposite of Luxembourgish. We say: time, manner, place.Examples:Den Tom kënnt haut mam Zuch heem. ⇒ haut (time), mam Zuch (manner), heem (place).Ech ginn all Dag mam Auto op d’Aarbecht. ⇒ all Dag (time), mam Auto (manner), d’Aarbecht (place). – I go to work by car everyday.3. Sentence BracketWhen you have a separable verb (with a prefix), a modal verb or when a verb is used in combination with a second verb then the conjugated verb still stays in POSITION 2. This creates a sentence bracket that contains all of the other information.Examples: Meng Mamm fiert normalerweis um 6 Auer heem. – My mom usually goes home at 6pm.Here we have a separable verb heemfueren. ⇒ fueren is the stem and heem is the a prefix. For such verbs, the prefix is separated from the stem and placed at the end of the sentence in the present tense (as long as the clause is not subordinate or relative).Meng Mamm wëll haut um 6 Auer heemfueren. – My mom wants to go home at 6pm today.Here we have the modal verb wëllen (the conjugated verb) and the 2. verb comes at the very end of the sentence. In this case a separable verb is no longer separated.Meng Mamm ass haut um 6 Auer heemgefuer. My mom came home at 6pm today.I know that the sentence order is quite challenging. That’s why And as there is much to say about the word order in Luxembourgish sentences I decided to create an online course – 10 day course: Understand the Basics of Luxembourgish Sentence Structure - this is included for FREE in the online course A1FSummary :1 Simple, declarative sentences are identical in Luxembourgish and English: Subject, verb, other. Ech léiere Lëtzebuergesch2 The verb is always the second element in a Luxembourgish sentence. Am Summer ginn ech gär an d’Schwämm..3 Luxembourgish sentences are usually “Time, Manner, Place.” Ech fueren um 8 Auer moies mam Auto op d’Aarbecht4 With separable, modal verbs and tenses, the second verb goes last, but the conjugated verb is still second.Ech fueren ëmmer um 6 Auer owes heemWebsite: https://luxembourgishwithanne.luSproochentest Oral Exam Prep Class:https://courses.luxembourgishwithanne.lu/p/oralexamFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/luxembourgishwithanne.lu/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luxembourgishwithanne/?hl=enLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/80364342/admin/feed/postsYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh7_kWqrLaZea-IJH46KJEA

Ep 35How to help your child to learn Luxembourgish
The best way to help your child learn Luxembourgish is by NOT teaching.The standard advice does not apply to young kids. Language learning for children, as a pedagogy, is very different from that for adults. As adults, we are self-directed learners; we create our own motivation and hold ourselves accountable. But children cannot do any of those things.When children are very young, they can't be expected to sit and concentrate for long periods, so it is ineffective to "teach" them in a traditional sense. If you place them in a language class for 45 minutes or an hour, they won't learn to speak Luxembourgish. Language acquisition doesn't happen that way for young children. The idea of formal language lessons for children up to around age 8 is a non-starter.Instead, it is essential to find something that is fun, engaging, and makes the language a natural part of their lives. The best resources for this are people 👥, songs 🎶, and books 📚.I have seen first-hand how just by spending time with children—playing, talking, and doing activities with them—they naturally learn Luxembourgish. It is through two-way communication that children learn a language best.Website: Babbelschoul: https://babbelschoul.luFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/babbelschoul/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/luxembourgishwithanne/?hl=enYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCh7_kWqrLaZea-IJH46KJEA

Ep 22How to say correctly What you are doing in Luxembourgish
Let's dive right in with a translation exercise: How do you say 'I am learning Luxembourgish' in Luxembourgish? That's right: 'Ech léieren Lëtzebuergesch.' But wait, can you spot the difference? Luxembourgish doesn't have the progressive/continuous verb form like in English. 'I am learning,' 'he is laughing,' 'she is crying'—these constructions don't exist in Luxembourgish. We don't change the verb tense to express that something is happening right now. So, every time you want to say 'I'm learning' in Luxembourgish, pause if you catch yourself saying 'Ech sinn léieren.' That's not correct! But don't worry, I'll show you the correct way to express it.
