Every life story has chapters.

Some are easy to talk about.

Others require a bit more care — especially in another language.

Today, we reach the final chapter of our podcast series:

👉 retirement and end of life.

In Part 4 (Episode 99), we talked about one of life’s happiest milestones: starting a family — including how to say “to have a baby” 👉 e Puppelche kréien.

If you haven’t listened yet, it’s a beautiful episode to catch up on before today’s.

Across this series, we’ve slowly built the language to talk about:

• birth

• school and education

• work

• marriage and children

And now, we complete the circle.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn natural, respectful Luxembourgish phrases for:

• talking about retirement

• speaking about later stages of life

• and choosing the right words when someone passes away

This isn’t textbook language.

It’s language you can actually use when sharing your own story or when listening to someone else’s.

“Anne, I was doing fine at A2… and now at B1 I feel stuck.”.

Grammar suddenly gets heavier.

Vocabulary explodes.

And progress feels slower, even though you’re actually learning regularly.

In Part 1 (Episode 98), we talked about why B1 feels like such a climb: the famous intermediate plateau.

And if that’s where you are right now: you’re not failing. You’re exactly where you should be.

Here’s the good news 👇

B1 is doable.

But at this stage, how you learn matters more than how much you study.

That’s why, at Luxembourgish with Anne, we created the B1 Hybrid Course:

a combination of clear self-study materials plus weekly small-group practice, so you stay consistent, speak regularly, and actually move forward.

In Part 2, I explain:

• how long it realistically takes to go from A2 → B1

• what the LFA B1 exam really looks like

• common mistakes learners make — and how to avoid them

🎧 If B1 feels heavy right now, this episode will make the path clearer and lighter.

Tune in and make the B1 journey lighter and more manageable. 💪✨

The goal of this episode is simple: to help you learn practical Luxembourgish phrases that you can actually use in real-life situations. These phrases are aimed at B1–B2 learners and reflect how native speakers really speak — formal, informal, and colloquial expressions included.

Some highlights from this lesson:

Avoid answering questions:

• Kee Commentaire. – No comment
• Ech komme méi spéit drop zeréck. – I’ll get back to you

Being rich or poor:

• Ech hu kee Su an der Täsch. – I have no money
• Si schwammen am Geld. – They are very rich

Telling someone to wait:

• Waart eng Minutt! – Hang on a second
• Alles mat der Rou! – Hold your horses

By learning phrases instead of isolated words, you’ll sound more natural and get fluent faster. These are the expressions native speakers use every day and now you can too!

🎧 Listen to the full episode and start adding these phrases to your Luxembourgish conversations today.

Today, we’re moving on to the next chapter of life: starting a family. 👶

In episode 96, part 3, we talked about marriage — remember how to say: “We got married in England in 2022”?

That’s: Mir hunn eis 2022 an England bestuet.

If you haven’t caught that episode yet, it’s worth a listen before diving in.

In part 4, we focus on having a baby: learning phrases like “e Puppelchen kréien” or “e Bëbee kréien” — simple, natural Luxembourgish you can actually use in conversation.

Examples:

• Meng Frëndin d’Lucy kritt e Puppelchen / Bëbee. – My friend Lucy is having a baby.
• Eis Noperen kréie geschwënn e Puppelchen. – Our neighbours are having a baby soon.
• Mir kréien am Mee e Puppelchen. – We’re having a baby in May.

Step by step, episode by episode, you’re building the language to tell your story in Luxembourgish with confidence.

Moving from A2 to B1 in Luxembourgish can feel like a big step — it’s that “threshold” where basic Luxembourgish turns into more independent communication. Many learners wonder: Is B1 really that much harder?

In Part 1 of this new episode, we unpack what B1 actually means in the CEFR and Luxembourgish Language Assessment Framework, why some parts of B1 can even feel easier than A2, and which areas typically challenge learners most.

You’ll also learn why B1 is the key level for managing daily life in Luxembourg — and even for the Sproochentest.

When we talk about life in Luxembourgish, it’s often those big milestones that make our stories come alive.

Last time, in episode 94, we talked about graduating and starting a job — those first big steps into adult life.

👉 Ech hunn d’Uni 2015 ofgeschloss (or absolvéiert).

Today, we’re moving on to the next chapter — partnership, marriage, and family. 💍👶

We’ll talk about getting engaged, married, and starting a family — in simple, natural Luxembourgish you can actually use when talking about your own life.
