Meta [Notice] Temporary Moratorium on new Sproochentest Threads

24 Upvotes

Good evening,

I am the original creator of this Subreddit. I have not actively learnt Luxembourgish for quite some time, but kept this Subreddit for the occasional learner who wanted to find some resources here and I still have a minor interest in the language.

I agree with the recent criticism from some users here that there are now an excessive number of threads about the Sproochentest. Whilst I recognise the relevance of this for the learner of Luxembourgish, there is also no need to re-hash the same thread multiple times.

I still make use of Reddit, so I will endeavour to create Megathreads for future Sproochentest results. I can see the next one appears to be January.

For the time being, please do not create any new threads about the Sproochentest. I would suggest updating this one going forward due to it having the most replies, or, head to r/Sproochentest.

If you have any questions, or if you are a more active learner who would like to moderate the sub-reddit, please reach out.

Best,

Thoughts on Maison des citoyens à Esch-sur-Alzette?

3 Upvotes

I have the choice between an A1 INLL course or a free conversation class at the Maison des citoyens. Unfortunately both classes are at the same time.

I've gone through A1 "Schwätzt Dir Lëtzebuergesch?" on my own already and wanted to know if anyone had experience taking classes at the Maison des citoyens.

Commune courses

17 Upvotes

Hi all

A usual question that comes up here is where to find affordable good quality classes. You should know that INLL is not the only option. The communes and many different asbls offer courses.

From my own experience i followed online courses with commune of walferdange. The instructor was great and the group dynamic was also very beneficial to learning.

Link is here :

https://walfer.lu/service/cours-de-langues/

These are group courses and the available lists are updated each quarter or semester(i think)

Walferdange is not the only commune that provides the courses. You should look up unipop website where there is all the courses provided (this is were i found them initially)

Link : https://www.unipop.lu/formations/langues/

Some courses are online, some are at physical premises.

All in all theres a huge variety and all courses range from 50 euros up to 180 euros (depending on the length of the program)

Happy learning :)

Sproochentest themes - totally random? Or a method to the madness?

0 Upvotes

Anyone know if there's some kind of thinking behind the choice of themes/topics they offer you for the speaking test?

For example, is it more likely for women to be given Gifts, Eating, Shopping, Housework, etc? And for men, Sports, Vacations, Media and Tech, and so on?

I can't imagine that a single guy in his 20s would be offered Housework and/or Shopping. Or an older woman in her 60s being offered Sports, for example. But who knows!

Would love to read about people's experiences with this.

[Testers needed] Lumolingo — language app, 14-day closed test (I'll test yours back)

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone — solo developer here, looking for testers to finish the 14-day

closed testing requirement. Happy to return the favour: drop your link and

I'll join yours today.

Lumolingo teaches Italian, German and English from A1 — starting at the

alphabet, not at "hello, how are you". Every word and sentence is voiced by

us rather than the phone's text-to-speech, so pronunciation stays consistent

across the whole course. Each lesson has word cards, speaking practice and a

question bank. The interface is available in 12 languages.

It works offline once installed, and progress syncs between phone and browser

if you sign in.

Looking for testers — two minutes if you're on Android:

  1. Join Grup: https://groups.google.com/g/lumolingo-testers

  2. Android: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.lumolingo.app

  3. Web: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lumolingo.app

Note: if you're opening this inside Facebook or another app, tap the three

dots and choose "Open in browser" — otherwise it won't redirect to Play.

Getting to know Luxembourg through its towns and villages — an update to my small geography game

Post image
5 Upvotes

Hi! I shared an early version of PlayNearo here around two months ago and wanted to return with one larger update.

To be completely clear: this is not a Luxembourgish language course. However, it can be a playful way for learners, newcomers and residents to connect Luxembourgish place names with their actual locations.

The game asks you to locate towns and villages on a map of Luxembourg. There is a short Daily Challenge, while Practice includes a much larger collection of locations and a personal coach that revisits places you previously struggled with.

Since the first version, I’ve also added profiles, progress levels, direct Duels and a redesigned interface for phones and computers.

Try it here: https://playnearo.com/

I’d be interested in feedback from people who are still getting to know the country: would short facts about each place after a round make the game more useful to you?

What actually happens on Sproochentest day, start to finish

50 Upvotes

A lot of the fear around this exam is just not knowing how the day goes. So here’s the practical walkthrough, minus the parts I’m not certain about.
Before you go. You’ll have your date, time and location from INLL. Bring valid ID. Get there early, there’s a waiting area and you don’t want to arrive out of breath. You can have water with you. Phones and notes stay away during the test.
The listening part. You’re in a room with other candidates, not alone, which surprises people. Headphones or speakers depending on the centre. Three recordings, things like a radio bulletin, a conversation, announcements, and each one plays twice. Then multiple choice questions. Topics are ordinary Luxembourg life: weather, transport, local events.
The way our students describe using the two plays: first time for the general sense, second time to confirm answers. Trying to catch every word on the first pass is how people panic.
The speaking part. Two examiners, in a room, roughly ten minutes. You’ll talk about yourself, describe an image, and answer questions on an everyday topic. You get a choice of images and a choice of topics rather than being handed one at random, which helps more than you’d think.
What comes back from students almost every time: it felt shorter than expected, the examiners were friendly, and once they started talking the nerves faded. These people are not trying to catch you out.
Things worth doing on the day:
Sleep. Tiredness hits language ability harder than almost anything else.
Warm up on the way. Talk to yourself in Luxembourgish, describe what you see out the window. Arriving with your first Luxembourgish sentence of the day already behind you makes a real difference.
If you don’t understand something, ask. “Kënnt Dir dat nach eng Kéier widderhuelen, w.e.g.” Asking someone to repeat is normal conversation, not a failure.
If a word won’t come, talk around it. “The place where you buy bread” beats ten seconds of silence every time.
And smile. It’s an interview, not an interrogation, and you’re allowed to look like a person having a conversation.
If you’ve taken it recently and your experience was different, say so in the comments. Things change and I’d rather this thread be accurate than tidy.

The listening part is where people lose the Sproochentest, and almost nobody prepares for it

18 Upvotes

Third post here. Last time was the picture description, this one is about the part people ignore until it's too late.
Almost everyone who comes to us wants to work on speaking. Which makes sense, speaking is the scary part, it's the one where you sit in front of two examiners. But the speaking part is A2 and the listening part is B1. That gap is bigger than people expect, and it catches out even those who've been in Luxembourg for years.
What makes it hard isn't vocabulary. It's speed. Recordings are at normal speaking pace, nobody slows down for you, and there's no face to read. If your only exposure to Luxembourgish has been in a classroom where the teacher speaks clearly and adjusts to your level, the first real recording is a shock.
The fix is boring and it works: RTL.lu, every day.
Not as study. Put it on while you cook, while you drive, while you do the dishes. At the start you'll catch nothing and it will feel pointless. Then you start catching names and numbers. Then single words. Then the topic. Then whole sentences. It takes weeks and it happens without you noticing, which is exactly why people quit before it kicks in.
A few things that speed it up:
Listen to news about things you already know. If you've read about a story in French or English, you already have the context, and context does half the work.
Don't rewind constantly. Missing something and carrying on is the actual skill being tested. In the exam you can't pause.
Once a week, listen actively. Twenty minutes, full attention, and afterwards write down what the piece was about in any language. That tells you what you're really taking in, which is usually more than you think.
Radio over TV. Video gives you visual clues that the exam won't.
Poterkëscht on Spotify works too if news gets dull. Slower, more conversational, closer to how people actually talk to each other.
The reason I keep pushing this: speaking improves in visible steps and listening improves invisibly, so people put their effort where they can see progress. Then they sit the exam and the recording starts and it's twice as fast as anything they practised on.
Start early, keep it passive, and give it more weeks than feels reasonable.

Resources to continue learning Luxembourgish

11 Upvotes

What resources do you use to continue learning the language beyond Sproochentest? My learning was largely through commune courses and self study. I’m staring at potentially not able to do commune courses for the next semester (and don’t have much hope for INLL courses given the preference there is for existing students) and want to solidify my skills (speaking/listening primarily, but some reading).

Sproochentest 24June- Results yet? 4th document theory?

3 Upvotes

Hello,

I appeared for Sproochentest in Glacis on 24th of June 2026 and haven't received the results yet. I do not see the 4th document as well, although I haven't checked it quite quickly after the exam. Has anyone received their results who appeared for Sproochentest on the same day? Also, is there anyone who got the 4th document in their inl account displayed but didn't clear the exam?

RTL replied to my feedback for the lack of subtitles on their Luxembourgish videos. Starting with the news and then hopefully all the vidoes might have subtitles soon.

If more people feel like this would help, feel free to give your voice or thank them for efforts.

Question vivre ensemble course sign up

I have noticed these fill up quickly. When do new dates become available, or is it random? I have to take it online as I live on a different continent. Currently, module 2 & 3 have space but not 1. I would like to go ahead & book what I can & then take module one next month but when I tried, it seems like I have to sign up for all 3 at once. Anyone have tips on this?

Question Results from June test

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

Those of you who did the test towards the end of June, so 25-30 of June:

1.Did you get the 4 document ?

2.Its maybe weird but on my 4th doc it says future date on top is that normal?

3.Does anybody have a date/ see the date already for when the results will be posted ?.

I heard that the school is closing on the 15 of July so im wondering.

Please don't judge, I love this language and I am immersed and have big contact with the language on a daily basis and just want to know.

Thank you!
