Beginner Luxembourgish lessons for Speaking, Listening and Reading Comprehension - Walferdange - Private lessons

Beginner Luxembourgish lessons for Speaking, Listening and Reading Comprehension

From 59 C$ /h

I have been giving Luxembourgish lessons to beginners (A1, A2, B1) for a couple of years here and there. I focus on speaking, listening and reading comprehension, as I believe this is the most important parts of learning Luxembourgish. Beginners should not be held back by the grammar and writing, that can be picked up lateron.

I am currently only offering online sessions, where I usually prepare a PowerPoint with exercises that focus on different themes. I only offer lessons to English speakers at the moment. I am very open to structuring lessons based on what you would prefer and I try to make it interactive, fun, and varied! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out.

I specialise in tutoring English for any levels as well as Luxembourgish to pass the 'Sproochentest'. I hold a BA and MA in English Literature so I can help you in the world of English whatever your need is. Students and Adults are welcome.
Being a Luxembourgish native, I offer Luxembourgish classes for individuals or small groups, preferably via an online platform. I have helped many of my students to pass the 'mLuxembourgish language test to this date. I am flexible on the duration of each class (60mins-120mins). Can do an intensive course in shorter time if required.

* In this course we focus on oral communication with exciting dialogues and targeted speech training.

* Improve your knowledge of German, your pronunciation, gain routine and learn to speak German fluently with me without any fear.

In short, learning new foreign languages makes it possible to cross new horizons. Besides that, knowing another language also allows you to discover a country in another form. For example, it is possible to see through a language the cultural richness of a particular country.

Flexibility is the name of the game!
We can adapt according to your field of interest and availability.

➤ Being a good manager is also being a good communicator. After all, a strategy can only be put into practice if you show yourself capable of interacting with your employees, of being a source of inspiration for them and of listening to their concerns. Unfortunately, not all managers naturally excel in this role and their difficulties in asserting themselves as true leaders is often attributable to their difficulties in communicating.

➤ The objective would then be to explore together the areas of improvement in terms of communication know-how. And managing effectively requires specific and cutting-edge know-how.

➤ In fact, managerial communication corresponds to the interactions between the management of the company and the organization and more specifically, between the manager and his team. This manager is in charge of transmitting information and directives coming from higher hierarchical levels, supporting internal communication, distilling messages related to his own management to obtain the commitment of his team, all while transmitting a message effectively.

➤ This exercise can therefore be tricky: this is why it is important to choose the right mediator in order to be well supported, not only to be understood by those around him, but also to carry out his mission.

➤ What to communicate? When ? Whose ? These questions will find an answer in the consistency of the actions undertaken. Good managerial communication will thus aim to exchange / dialogue effectively with its employees, maintain a close link between the different layers of the company, bring human relations back to the heart of the company, establish a climate of trust and good team cohesion, motivate by inspiring.

➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practice exercises adapted to your everyday situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live), so that you can put them into practice immediately, and this from the 1st session.

Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 or 3 sessions*. (*study 2022).

➤ THE TRAINER:
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication , in reputable international public and private establishments, intervening in forums and conferences, and oriented on two axes: training and coaching, with pedagogy and careful methodology as key words.

If you were a student or you search for work, or you work with NGOs and like to improve your communication skills with the beneficiaries, I can offer you private lessons or a trainings for Luxembourgish (Beginner level) English or Arabic languages where Arabic is my mother tongue language and English Language and Literature is my university major.

As a Luxembourger, teaching this language has become my passion.
My specialty is to teach Luxembourgish quickly and completely, while ensuring that the student correctly integrates the material and knows how to converse in society and at their workstation.
Whether you are a beginner and have just moved to Luxembourg, whether you live at the border or even on the other side of the world, I am at your disposal to help you. In my lessons, I adapt targeted to your personal needs.
Here are some examples and highlights:
*Preparation for the Sproochentest test (also for nationality), targeted vocabulary, tailored to your needs (e.g. in the fields of economics, education, politics, medicine...).
*Improve your language skills
*Get to know your surroundings better by reading the magazine in Luxembourgish, laughing at jokes on the radio and understanding different dialects.
*Get a better insight into Luxembourg culture and history.

My goal is to create an effective learning environment. I rely on the student's course, which I supplement if necessary with additional information.

Book with me and you will discover your full potential. I promise you won't be disappointed.

In a culturally rich country like Luxembourg where a large number of cross-border commuters come to work, it is very important to be able to talk and communicate with each other.

If you are looking for language lessons/language tutoring, then you have come to the right place. I speak a total of 5 languages (Portuguese, Luxembourgish, German, French and English).

Translating is not a problem for me, which makes learning a language even easier.

How to prepare for a media interview? What means should be used to fight his fear of the camera and improve his image? How to present yourself and your project in front of a camera?

How to present yourself and your project to the media?

Targeted content according to your project: Verbal and/or gestural communication; Seduction of the lens and/or microphone; Improvisation in front of a microphone and/or camera; Voice & gaze; One or two camera games; Chronic; Animation; Reporting; Live radio & TV; Interview; Narration; Speech in all its forms (...).

In short, several objectives:
◾ Confront your shyness in front of the microphone/camera.
◾ Understand his speech and diction.
◾ Tame the media environment (radio/tv).
◾ Become familiar with your image and voice.
◾ Manage your speaking time.

Through exercises (diction, voice, presence, breathing, presentations, time management), role plays, simulated interviews and familiarization with their image and voice, participants evolve at their own pace within a framework flexible teaching.

Please note that during the videoconference session, all the notes are transcribed gradually on the chat so that you can access them at any time when you wish.

Indeed, speaking is a predominantly physical activity, which, while taking care of its image, is based on a body, a voice, a breath, a rhythm (diction) and an emotion (the imagination and the sensations ) reflecting the speaker's involvement in his speech. How to send a clear message? How to make the difference, to make an impression?

Knowing how to speak, act and interact in public is almost a necessity today: your public speaking must be effective and efficient with clear, simple and impactful messages.

Simple and pragmatic tools will be presented for: generating listening ● making an impression ● fostering confidence ● generating need ● motivating teams by explaining a strategy ● getting messages across within groups ● overcoming shyness by assimilating 3 CRV axes (body-breathing-voice) ● better manage disagreement or conflict.

Mastered, the method allows:
• to improve self-confidence and stress management with the development of the speaker's (verbal-corporal) ease, his public speaking skills and his sense of repartee and improvisation.
• to work on their ease, leadership, charisma, creativity and personal development through role-playing scenarios.
* to improve the characteristics of the spoken voice (timbre, pitches, intention, flow).
* convey your message through your image, while gaining improvisation skills and responsiveness.

Supplemented by basic exercises (diction, voice, presence, breathing, presentation, time management), role plays, improvisations and simulations. With the key word: pronunciation, diction / articulation, the sense of repartee.

Become bilingual in Luxembourgish with me!

Passionate about languages and a polyglot, I offer a unique approach to mastering Luxembourgish. Since 2011, I have traveled throughout Luxembourg as a journalist.

We will work on the language through themes that interest you: current events, culture, history, or daily life. You will learn to speak Luxembourgish as it is actually used, discovering the subtleties that cannot be learned from textbooks. With me, you don't just learn a language; you appropriate a culture.
