Working Life
I very quickly found a freelance teaching position with
Berlitz Luxembourg but a wage of 15 euros per hour is quite a challenge to live
off in lavish Luxembourg. However, there is work there and you can build up a
client list quite quickly as you are free to complete work for other language
schools as well as offering private tuition which can help you build up a
reasonable living. Berlitz also offer
total immersion courses, where in one week you can earn crazy amounts of money.
I was fortunate enough to work one of these courses but do not get food poisoning
the weekend before like me and have to call in sick for most of the week
resulting in zero money! The staff are very friendly and it is a pleasant place
to work. You can also exchange language lessons with other staff using the
materials and classrooms for free, which is a definite bonus as language
lessons do not come cheap!
Verdict
I would definitely recommend
Luxembourg for both a two or three day visit and to live. It’s a very
interesting country and the simplicity of the place is quite remarkable and
quite frankly I love it, the main reason being that it is so easy to live there
and you still get that cultural feeling of being abroad. It's not cheap, far
from it, but it is worth the experience and I definitely learnt a lot there -
mainly how to budget!
