But there’s another reason you don’t solve your language problems:

And because of this, you imagine that you will only be able to do business in Luxembourgish with confidence when

you have perfect grammar,

Has this ever happened to you?
You have a meeting to run. You are in charge. But this time…the meeting is in Luxembourgish.
You know exactly what you want to say–in your native language.

But in Luxembourgish, you are having difficulty finding your words. You’re getting the idea across, but you’re unsure. Are you making mistakes? Did you say that right?

It’s stressful wondering if you’re doing it right in front of your colleagues, your clients…your boss.

But the truth is that every meeting has certain key situations that happen every time.

You’re probably always going to have the chance to greet everyone and introduce yourself, for example.

And you can start feeling a lot better in your Business Luxembourgish meetings simply by learning the key phrases you need to know.

Example to start a meeting you could say:

Moien alleguer

Da loosst eis ufänken

So you see by learning such key phrases you’ll feel much more confident very fast.
