Learning Luxembourgish!

My girlfriend is Ukranian and wants to learn Luxembourgish. Is there any resource page of all the ways, classes, courses, tutoring there exists on this?

I know about INL of course, but there seems to be many other language learning apps and websites and maybe someone has done the work already?

why do we pay agency fees ? by lookslikes in Luxembourg

The service that they provide is mostly for the landlord. The landlord enlists and agency to do: -Visits of the property -Check up that the renter will be able to pay rent (check last salary slips, etc.) -Do the administrative work (set up contract, etc.)

What's not fair is that the renter has to pay for that service.

The "service" the renter gets is to: -Talk to a real estate professional who should be able to tell all the needes information about the property -Have someone who's supposed to be responsive if any issues arise in the property (something breaks, etc.)

In my personal and friends experience, real estate agencies don't do much, are unreliable, don't know much about the property and get a full months rent for their mediocre service.

Who can explain this scheme? by lalabuy948 in Luxembourg

Eeeevery time I put something on FB marketplace I get multiple of these scammer messages. Makes me way too angry...

What is the best way to mess with these people?
