We all experience pain - headaches, sore muscles, a stiff neck - but describing it clearly in another language can be tricky. In this episode, I guide you through general ways to talk about aches and pains, plus the different types of pain you might feel, all in natural Luxembourgish.

By the end, you’ll be able to express yourself confidently and clearly, whether in everyday conversation, or explaining your symptoms to someone, or when caring for someone.

🎯 Perfect for A2 learners who want to sound natural and professional in Luxembourgish.

Think about the big milestones we all experience:

👶 being born

🎓 going to school

💼 starting work

💍 getting married

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 having a family

🛋 retiring

⚰️ and even the end of life.

Each of these stages has its own key expressions in Luxembourgish. And from my teaching experience, I’ve seen that many learners make mistakes with exactly these kinds of words.

That’s why I’ve created this new series — Luxembourgish for Life — to guide you through the vocabulary and expressions that follow the journey of life itself.

Here’s what to expect:

👉 Today’s episode: Birth and being born

👉 Next: School and education

👉 Then: Work and professional life

👉 After that: Marriage and family

👉 And finally: Retirement and the end of life

By the end of the series, you’ll feel confident using these expressions — whether you’re talking about yourself, your family, or someone else.

✨ Episode 1 is live now: let’s start at the very beginning with vocabulary for birth and being born.

Have you ever caught yourself saying something in Luxembourgish like:

👉 Hie schwätzt haart. – He speaks loudly.

👉 Hatt huet lues geschwat. – She spoke softly.

…and then immediately thought:

“Hmm… that doesn’t really capture what I meant.”

I see this all the time with my students.

In your own language, you know exactly what to say. In Luxembourgish, it comes out flat — almost robotic.

You don’t want “basic,” you want you — clear, expressive, confident.

That’s why I recorded this new episode.

It’s all about moving beyond the plain schwätzen and finding words that capture the feeling, the tone, the emotion.

Because saying Hatt huet haart geschwat isn’t the same as saying:

➡️ Hatt huet duerch de ganze Büro gejaut.

➡️ Hatt huet den Team ugebrëllt.

➡️ Hatt huet gebläert, mee keen huet eppes verstanen.

See the difference? Suddenly the moment is alive. And so is your Luxembourgish.

Have you ever struggled to explain your thoughts in Luxembourgish?

Maybe you’ve been in a meeting where someone asked for your opinion, and:

• You hesitated, unsure how to organize your thoughts.
• You felt like you were repeating the same words over and over.
• Your ideas didn’t flow smoothly, and you weren’t sure how to wrap up your point.

If this sounds familiar, you just need the right Luxembourgish connectors, words that help you structure your ideas naturally, explain your reasoning clearly, and sound more confident in professional and personal conversations.

Consider these two opinions:

Option 1:

Ech mengen, vun doheem aus ze schaffen ass besser. Am Büro gëtt een ofgelenkt. Doheem kann ee sech konzentréieren. Et verléiert ee keng Zäit mam Trajet.

Option 2:​

Ech mengen, vun doheem aus ze schaffen ass besser, well de Büro oflenke kann an et doduerch méi schwéier ass, sech ze konzentréieren. Ausserdeem verléiert ee keng Zäit mam Trajet.

Now, let me ask you:

Which opinion is clearer? Which one flows more smoothly? It’s the second one, right? But why? Because we used connectors. Have you spotted them? Not sure? Then …

The key isn’t using more words - it’s using the right ones.

Here’s a quick test: Which of these feels more natural to you?

• "Entschëlleg…" (informal)
• "Entschëllegt" (formal + polite, final “t” pronounced)

That tiny difference can completely change how your request is received.

In my latest podcast episode, I share simple, polite, real-life phrases you can use right away — like:

• Entschëllegt, kënnt Dir mir soen, wéi ech op d’Gare kommen?
• Ech sichen den Nationalmusée — wësst Dir wou en ass?

If you’ve ever worried about sounding awkward or too formal (or not formal enough) when asking for directions, this episode is your shortcut to confidence.

⁠If you’re working in Luxembourg’s legal environment – or often find yourself dealing with contracts, compliance, or corporate policies – speaking Luxembourgish clearly and confidently is more than just a language skill… it's a professional asset.

Back in July, I launched the first episode of this series, introducing the most essential legal vocabulary in Luxembourgish.⁠

Now, in Episode 2, we’re going deeper:

• You’ll learn 10 new B1/B2-level legal terms (not the typical basics)
• See how 5 of them work in real-life sentences
• And listen in on a natural dialogue between a lawyer and a client – focused on work-related legal issues

Whether you're in HR, a legal assistant, a consultant, or just want to sound more professional when legal topics come up – this episode is for you.⁠
