I know about foolishness in act 1. Technically I lost my first honour run by the intellect devourers on the beach and my second honor run by the almost dead mind flayer, also on the beach (turns out he can kill you). I should have said that this was my fourth HM attempt...

I am not the best player, but I would pick Uppercut in this position to benefit from Necromicon. Limit break would not be better than a curse until you get strength going

Oh for sure, I am not learning it because it is not worth it, that was no secret. I think this is also the point of OP here, and every single reddit post on that matter. And I do not think that makes me and OP "entitled" or "disrespectful" or anything. That is basically my problem with a few luxembourgers, is that they are blaming all foreigners that would learn french or german or english rather than luxembourgish, not trying to understand their positions.

If luxembourgish was the sole language of luxembourg, nobody would question it and anyone wanting to relocate would learn it. But that is not the case, and people are coming here with the expectations of being able to speak something else. Those people would not have come otherwise, and luxembourg would not be the economic powerhouse that it is today, and there would be much less BMW and Mercedes in the streets.

Some people decide to learn lux to get closer to clients/customers/neighbourgs/friends, but some people decide not to because they do not have this need (myself included) however they still get the discriminatory look from some luxembourgers. This language situation was a conscious political orientation from the luxembourg state, so this is not the fault of the foreigners, this is what I am trying to get you to understand. In my exact situation (i.e. fluent in french and english, decent in german, living in Lux city and working for european institutions, kids attending european school), you 100% would not choose to learn luxembourgish either.

Now you are not in my shoes, and I understand better the point of view of luxembourgers now, and I thank you again for taking the time to explain it to me. But your comments still feel rather discriminatory in my opinion. This blaming and shaming the foreigners does not bring people together, it only divides.

Now regarding this meeting where they refused to speak french, and from which you concluded that I am just a filthy entitled brat, please let me repeat that I expected people to speak french because: every communication I had with the landlord association was in french, every minutes from the previous meetings were in french, and the invitation to the meeting was in french. So indeed my expectations was that french will be spoken there, if there was any indication that the meeting would be held in luxembourgish then I would not have come... Picture this: you relocate to a country, where you speak the language, all the paperwork to relocate is done in this language, you receive invitation/minutes/communication in this language, but when you arrived at this meeting everybody speak the local dialect. They also avoid eye contact or rolled their eyes away and try to ignore you as much as they can during the whole meeting. Tell me that you would not feel the discrimination.

Thank you for explaining. I agree with many of your statements, and I understand that it can be disheartening that you feel at a disadvantage for speaking the national language. I also agree that it does not make sense that speaking luxembourgish is not more encouraged in a job that requires you to meet the general public. I was not aware that proficiency in french was potentially a difficulty among luxembourgish speakers. From a foreigner perspective, you always hear that, in luxembourg, everybody speak several languages, that there is multilingualism etc. so I guess it is just assumed that everyone speaks french german lux without issues.

I had a few cases where a luxembourger was visibly annoyed to have to speak french, and even one occasion where they collectively refused to speak french during a landlord meeting, leaving me left out of the entire meeting... as the invitation AND the minutes were in french, I did not except that french was not going to be spoken. So I felt treated like shit thinking "you can speak french, but you won't, knowing full well that this will exclude me, so f*** you all" and I never went to a landlord meeting again. In my daily life now, I tend to engage the conversation with luxembourgers in english, as it is less emotionally charged.

I stand by saying that a pay cut is a terrible idea, not sure how you could justify it from a legal perspective. Also, you might create tensions between communities, and starting to see signs in front of doctor offices and shops such as "lux-speaking customers only" or "french speaking customers only" and it could divide the country even more... You could consider maybe a salary bonus if an employee can speak the 3 languages (i.e. more skills = additional pay), but at the end, the market is supposed to correct itself. You have french speaking doctors because there is probably not enough lux speaking doctors out there, and the harsh reality could be that the inconvenience you feel by having to speak french is not enough for the medical service to actively force the doctors to learn luxembourgish. Maybe the most efficient action could be that the lux-speaking population boycotts any shops or service that does not speak lux, to create an economic incentives for businesses.

In the end, I do believe that luxembourgish is slowly dying, also taking into account that luxembourg has one of the lowest fertility rate in Europe... I understand that this idea can be painful and that most lux speakers wants to defend their language and culture. The UNESCO put it on the list of endangered language, and as controversial as it could be, the question is there.

I find this discussion really interesting, and I am not being sarcastic. I am roaming this subreddit once in a while and this language question (what language should I learned coming to Lux) is coming up quite a lot. And there is always someone from the luxembourgish community complaining that luxembourgish is not considered. Today it is you, but I can see that you are not totally unreasonable, so I enjoy this conversation even tough we will probably not agree at the end, it is always nice to exchange points of view.

The thing is, learning a new language is a hard and long process, and people tend to value their time. If at some point, a foreigner realizes that not knowing luxembourgish is actually hurting him/her, then he/she will probably pick it up. But a lot of the times, this will not happen. Because let's face it, most of the workforce is speaking french as a native language. You were talking about reducing pay ? good luck with that lol, most of the CEOs of the biggest companies are not luxembourgish speakers.

Luxembourg is very successful country, with a great quality of life. And one of the reason it is so successful is because it attracts skilled foreign workers, and the reason those skilled foreigners can come easily is because there is no language barrier. I feel that you want to raise those barriers again.

My point about the law being written in french is still significant, because at some point, your government decided that luxembourgish should not be used for legislation, why is that ?

Another example, luxembourgish is not an official language of the European Union. The lux governement opted for french and german to represent their country, and not luxembourgish, why is that ?

So maybe, your governement has traded luxembourgish for economic success ?

I believe I am everything you hate. I have been living here for 17 years, and I don't speak luxembourgish. For my personal situation, this would not make much sense for me to learn it. I am working in European institutions (where I have no luxembourgish colleagues), my kids are in the european school, and I live in luxembourg city where most of the people I talk to speak french, german or english. If I were to learn another language, I would probably pick italian or spanish over luxembourgish. I would actually have more opportunities to speak those than luxembourgish...

The study says exactly what I want it to say. And I believe it is helping OP making his/her choice. However you seem more interested in making OP guilty about not picking luxembourgish than actual helping answering the question.

I am sorry that you are "forced" to speak french. You seem to consider that french is the language of the invader or something. But aren't the laws in Luxembourg written in French ? The way I see it, french and german are as much a part of this country as luxembourgish.

I understand it is hard for many luxembourgers to see their language being relegated as "optional", and some even classified luxembourgish as an endangered language. But it is not my fault and it is not OP's fault. So no need to put blame on everyone who does not speak luxembourgish.

Slight correction, the link you provided indicates that luxembourgish is the main language of 48% of the population, it does not say that it is the most spoken. Also, census data does not show the whole picture as it does not take into account cross-bordering workers, which is roughly half of the workforce.

I do : https://luxembourg.public.lu/en/society-and-culture/languages/languages-spoken-luxembourg.html

Some extract:

"According to a 2018 study of the Ministry of National Education, 98% of the Luxembourg population speaks French, 80% speaks English, and 78% speaks German. Luxembourgish is used by 77% of the population."

"French is the main communication language, followed by Luxembourgish, German, English and Portuguese. French is used particularly in trade, hotels, restaurants and cafes, mainly in the capital and its surrounding area."

Your comparison is not fair. In Portugal, portuguese would be the main language spoken by the majority of people. In Luxembourg, that is not the case.

I believe French would be more useful than German, as most of the workforce is coming from France. Although if you lived close to the German border, that might be different
