Family, work and routine

A1.113 min

Talk about close people, your work, and one simple morning habit.

All lessons
Context: This module keeps conversations personal but still simple and safe for beginners.
Register note:
  • The dialogue uses du forms such as Schaffs du? and Drénks du? because it sounds like a familiar peer conversation. In formal settings, wait until you learn the Dir pattern.
  • Dat ass … is the neutral way to introduce a person. Adding meng or mäi is enough; Luxembourgish does not need a longer formula.

Sound notes

  • Meng is used with feminine nouns like Fra and Famill; mäi is used with masculine/neuter nouns like Mann.
  • Schaffen = to work. You can use it before you know many job titles.
  • Moies means in the morning. Before moies, the final -n drops: Ech drénke moies Kaffi.
