In a snapshot
After completing the Cambridge Celta course whilst in
Strasbourg in France, I found myself very quickly living and working in the
ever so small country of Luxembourg. The first thing that struck me about the
capital city (also called Luxembourg) is how clean it is; you really could eat
your dinner off the floor and the high tax rate is definitely reflected in the
up keep of its capital. If you enjoy the simplicities of life such as nice
views, efficient transport and everything being within a ten mile radius,
Luxembourg is worth a visit.
However, it is far from cheap in all aspects: living,
socialising, eating and drinking are all very expensive in Luxembourg. There is
no worry about a language barrier in Luxembourg though - they speak their
native tongue of Luxembourgish as well as German, French and English, so if you
can only speak English - like myself - "pouvez-vous
anglais" is pretty much the only vocabulary
you need whilst living in and visiting Luxembourg. For that reason, I wouldn't recommend it if
you would like to practice your foreign languages. Even though they speak four,
if the locals see you’re struggling they will speak back to you in English.
