– Let’s have a quick introduction about yourself. Where are you from and what do you do?
I was born and raised in Luxembourg, where I also completed my schooling. I worked in the financial sector, but I soon realized the work wasn’t creative or engaging enough for me. Since I’ve always loved reading and telling stories, I began sharing them in Luxembourgish, which sparked a real passion for the language. Today, I’m the CEO and founder of LWA, and a leading pioneer for Luxembourgish coaching. I work with a wide range of clients — from those preparing for the Luxembourgish language exam to acquire citizenship, to professionals who want to improve their confidence in conversation classes and to anyone who simply wants to learn Luxembourgish for their day-to-day life.
– What’s your entrepreneurial journey? How did you get started with Luxembourgish with Anne?
I started teaching Luxembourgish in 2012, first with language schools and local communes. I soon realized that learners needed more than grammar — they needed confidence and real-life communication skills. That led me to train as a neurolanguage and communication coach and to found Luxembourgish with Anne.
Since then, I’ve worked with individuals and groups — from citizenship exam candidates to professionals and everyday learners — helping them communicate naturally in daily and workplace situations. I expanded into online learning with programs like From Zero to Sproochentest. And in 2025, I was honored to be nominated as the Leading Pioneer of Luxembourgish Language Coaching.
Today, my mission is to make Luxembourgish learning practical, engaging, and confidence-boosting, so learners can succeed in their goals and feel comfortable using the language in real life
– What courses does Luxembourgish with Anne offer? Who should contact you?
At Luxembourgish with Anne, we offer a full pathway of online Luxembourgish courses. It starts with A1 Foundation and A2 Consolidation, and then moves into the flagship program From Zero to Sproochentest, which prepares beginners step by step for the citizenship exam.
For learners beyond the basics, I’ve developed self-study courses such as the B1.1 Verstoen a Schwätzen and the Formal and Business Language course. And for professionals who want more targeted practice, my new program Speak Luxembourgish at Work combines practice, feedback, and coaching to help them feel confident using Luxembourgish in real workplace situations.
So whether your goal is the citizenship exam, integrating Luxembourgish into daily life, or using it effectively at work, there’s a program designed for you
– What are you most proud of about Luxembourgish with Anne?
What I’m most proud of is the tangible impact Luxembourgish with Anne has on people’s lives. Since founding the school, I’ve supported thousands of learners — from citizenship exam candidates to anyone looking to gain confidence and improve their Luxembourgish, whether for work or daily life. I’ve created structured and innovative programs like From Zero to Sproochentest, the conversation classes Schwätz mat eis, and Speak Luxembourgish at Work, which are unique in Luxembourg.
But what truly makes it all worthwhile is seeing learners transform uncertainty into confidence, succeed in their exams, and use Luxembourgish naturally in everyday and professional situations, knowing that our conversation classes have supported them in building strong oral skills.
– What are your hobbies and interests?
I enjoy reading, especially about Asian culture and Luxembourgish authors, which inspires me both personally and professionally. I also love spending time outdoors, taking long walks with my dog, and balancing my vacations between life in nature in the Provence and relaxing by the sea in South of France. Recently, I’ve started a new hobby — calligraphy — which allows me to focus and be creative in a different way.
– What’s your favourite spot in Luxembourg?
My favourite spot in Luxembourg is the Vallée de Pétrusse — or Péitrussdall in Luxembourgish — which has recently been completely re-designed. I love going there for a walk with my dog, it’s such a beautiful green area right in the city. Another place I really enjoy is the Brasserie Häerz, where I like to go for coffee or breakfast. The Brasserie Häerz has a lot of history, because it’s located in the city center where Tapis Hertz stood for almost 80 years. Founded in 1946, it became a well-known family business, famous for its carpets and even supplying the Grand Ducal Court. The shop closed in 2019, so the café now carries on the spirit of a real Luxembourgish institution.
– What’s your top 3-recommendations for a newcomer in Luxembourg?
My top three recommendations for newcomers would be: First, take the time to explore Luxembourg’s nature — the country is small, but it’s full of hidden gems like the Mullerthal or the Moselle. Second, try the local food and cafés, from a traditional Bouchée à la reine or Kniddelen to discovering new places like café Häerz. And third — and I think this is very important — start learning a bit of Luxembourgish right away. Even just simple greetings will make you feel welcome and open doors in daily life.
– What’s your favourite quote?
My personal quote is: “When a teacher is passionate about languages, that passion becomes contagious and inspires learners to love the language too.”
That’s exactly what drives my work — sharing my passion for Luxembourgish so learners not only succeed in exams or at work, but also enjoy the language in their daily lives.”
– Anything else interesting we should’ve asked?
One thing I’d like to add is that I’m very proud to have been recognized as the Leading Pioneer of Luxembourgish Language Coaching 2025 by the EU Enterprise Awards. For me, this recognition is not only an honor, but also a motivation to keep innovating and supporting learners in making Luxembourgish part of their daily and professional lives.
