Language learning for adults

Language courses for adults Luxembourg

Multilingualism is omnipresent in Luxembourg, whether in everyday life or at work. Whatever the situation, you can expect to speak a different language, or to be addressed in a language other than your mother tongue.

To integrate as well as possible in Luxembourg, it's important to speak several languages. And mastering foreign languages is a real political priority, to helpnew arrivals integrate as quickly as possible. Anyone wishing to learn a new language has every opportunity to do so.

A wide range of language learning opportunities in Luxembourg

There is a wide range of language courses on offer in Luxembourg, from public integration bodies to private structures.

INL, a key player in language learning

No more excuses for not integrating into Luxembourg's many communities!

In Luxembourg, you'll find many private companies offering language courses on an individual, inter-company or intra-company basis.

In most cases, these specialized language learning companies also organize intensive language courses for children during the school vacations in French, German or English.
