How to say correctly What you are doing in Luxembourgish

About this episode

Let's dive right in with a translation exercise: How do you say 'I am learning Luxembourgish' in Luxembourgish? That's right: 'Ech léieren Lëtzebuergesch.' 

But wait, can you spot the difference? Luxembourgish doesn't have the progressive/continuous verb form like in English. 'I am learning,' 'he is laughing,' 'she is crying'—these constructions don't exist in Luxembourgish. 

We don't change the verb tense to express that something is happening right now. 

So, every time you want to say 'I'm learning' in Luxembourgish, pause if you catch yourself saying 'Ech sinn léieren.' That's not correct! But don't worry, I'll show you the correct way to express it. Tune in to learn more! 🎧
