Which language courses are available for adult language learning in Luxembourg?

INLL offers adults aged 18 and over courses in 13 languages from A1 to C2, including Lëtzebuergesch, French, German and English. Municipalities, the Service de la formation des adultes, known as SFA, and ASBL organisations also provide courses with different schedules, levels and formats.

How is language-course access and placement handled for language learning in Luxembourg?

Access depends on the provider, registration period, available places and sometimes a placement test or interview. INLL normally uses placement and an interview for new registrations except at A1 level, while other providers determine the suitable level through their own procedures.

Which Luxembourgish language test is used for nationality applications in Luxembourg?

The Sproochentest Lëtzebuergesch is the recognised language certificate for a nationality application and has two oral parts: expression at A2 and comprehension at B1. It costs 75 euros and does not require prior attendance at a language course; an INLL Lëtzebuergesch course certificate alone is not sufficient for this purpose.

How can language learning support work and everyday life in Luxembourg?

Lëtzebuergesch, French, German and English are used in different work and everyday situations, but Luxembourg has no single general employment language threshold. ADEM provides language training for registered jobseekers after adviser referral, while LLO.LU, INLL digital courses and Meet&Speak provide additional self-study or practice opportunities.

Which language-learning pathways are available for children and young people in Luxembourg?

Early-childhood settings provide daily playful contact with Lëtzebuergesch and French while recognising family languages. Children and young people entering the education system can use pathways such as ACCU, CLIJA, CLIJAA, SIA and RLS, whose language focus varies by age and may include intensive French, basic Lëtzebuergesch, German, English or subject learning.

The Institut national des langues (INLL) offers adults aged 18 and over courses in 13 languages, including Lëtzebuergesch, French, German, English, Arabic, Chinese, Dutch, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. Courses range from A1 to C2 under the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and include standard, compact, workshop, professional, blended, e-learning, hybrid and guided self-study formats. New INLL learners normally complete a placement process and interview, except at A1 level. Courses usually last one semester, while some professional courses last about eight weeks; registration takes place through MyINL. The course price depends on the offer, and books or other materials are usually charged separately. A reduced tariff of 10 euros is available when the required proof from ADEM, SNAS, ONA, CAI or a social office is provided. For the autumn 2026 offer, registration runs from 10 September to 2 October for courses from 22 September 2026 to 28 January 2027.
