Master the Sproochentest - Oral Exam

What will you learn in this course?

1 You’ll learn the prac cali es : how the exam is structured, the procedure of
taking the exam and how the examiners will evaluate your Luxembourgish.

2 I’ll share with you my strategies and ps on how to best describe a picture in
less than 5 minutes. Being able to verbally describe a picture is an important
part of the Oral Test.

test. I'll provide you useful vocabulary that will help you speak with ease and
con dence.

You will also learn how to create and prac ce your own answers to the
ques ons the examiner may ask you.

But keep in mind it’s also very important for you to understand the examiner’s
ques ons.

So we'll look at the di erent types of ques ons that are likely to come up for
all of the topics.

And I’ll help you to prac ce and improve your listening skills so to be prepared
to sit the listening comprehension exam.

In addi on I’ve created the 7-week-guide which is your guide for this en re
module. This guide provides you with a day by day ac vity planner. If you s ck

T H E S P RO O C H E N T EST

The Sproochentest consists of 2 exams: the Oral Language Test and the Listening
Comprehension Test. In this Lesson you will learn about the contents of the Sproochentest,
how it is administered and FAQ so that you have a clear picture of what to expect on the day
you take the test.

1. Oral Language Test

Level required
The level of the Oral Language Test corresponds to level A2 of the Common European
Framework of Reference for Languages for oral produc on and interac on.

You will be evaluated on your use of simple language in describing your living condi ons,
educa onal background and ability to discuss familiar topics such as your family, job,
holidays, hobbies, daily ac vi es, food and drink habits.

Procedure
The Oral Language Test consists of two parts, Topics and Pictures:

Part 1: Topic Discussion

The examiner proposes two di erent subjects/topics for discussion and you will need to
select one. You will then be asked ques ons about the chosen topic, allowing you to
demonstrate your command of the language.

Here are the most frequently proposed topics:

Summer / Wanter De Stot maachen & Akafe goen

Vakanz / Reesen Medien & Technologien
Hobbyen & Krea vitéit Transportmë elen
Sproochen Kaddoen
Tourismus am Heemechtsland Gesond liewen
Wunnen Moud & Kleeder
Sport Liesen

 Part 2: Picture Descrip on
The examiners will show you 3 pictures. They are all pictures of people. For example: people
celebra ng a birthday, or a family having breakfast, or people on the “Plëss” or at the
Schueberfouer. You will choose one of the 3 pictures and describe what you see. You have a
maximum of 5 minutes to talk.

Time
The complete Oral Test lasts approximately ten to twelve minutes.

2. Listening Comprehension Test

Level required

The level of the listening comprehension test corresponds to level B1 of the Common

European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) for listening comprehension:

‘The candidate can understand the main points of clear standard speech on familiar ma ers

regularly encountered in work, school, leisure, etc. The candidate can understand the main

points of many radio or TV programmes on current topics or ma ers of personal or

professional interest when the delivery is rela vely slow and clear.’

Content and procedure

The listening comprehension test is in three parts. You will hear

1 a radio news item

2 an everyday conversa on between two people

3 a discussion or presenta on of a speci c subject

Each part consists of an audio recording and recorded ques ons. Each recording is played

twice. A er each recording, you answer the mul ple-choice ques ons by indica ng your

answer on an answer sheet.

The test lasts about 25 minutes.

Assessment

Candidates’ answer sheets are marked by two evaluators using a marking grid.

 3. Passing criteria

You will pass the Sproochentest if you obtain a minimum score of 50% on the Oral Language
Test. An insu cient score on the Oral Language Test can be compensated by your results on
the Listening Comprehension Test.

F REQUE NT LY AS KE D QUEST IO NS

Where does the Sproochentest takes place?

The exam takes place at the Ins tut Na onal des Langues (INL), 21 boulevard de la foire, L- 1528
Luxembourg. The INL is close to the “Glacis” at Limpertsberg.

Are the 2 exams on the same day?

Usually, they take place on 2 di erent days. You’ll receive a le er from the INL informing you about a)
the date for the oral exam and b) another date for the listening comprehension.
But upon request the INL organises once a month a day including the 2 exams.

Do I have to speak (monologue) during several minutes about one topic?

The oral exam is conducted in the form of a dialogue / interview between the candidate and the
examiner.

Do I have to introduce myself in the oral exam?

No, this is not requested.

Do I get the results the same day of the oral exam?

You’ll receive the results a er having taken both the oral and the listening comprehension tests. This
takes generally between 2 and 5 weeks.

The listening comprehension exam takes place in a big room and you’ll be seated with many other
students - each one at a separate desk.

How many mes can I apply to take the Sproochentest?

There is no limit to the number of mes. You can register again once you’ve received the results of the
previous test.

Where and how can I register?

You may register in person at the INL or submit the duly completed registra on form directly on the
INL’s webpage under the sec on “Ci zenship - Exam - Condi ons & Registra on.

When are the next tests being held?

 EVALUATIO N

In this lesson we need to think about how will your Luxembourgish language skills be
evaluated. What specifically is the examiner listening for? How will they evaluate
what you are able to say?

The oral part of the Sproochentest takes place in a room with 2 examiners, live.

One examiner will offer you a choice of 2 topics to discuss, you will select one and
then you will be asked quesFons about that topic. Next, the examiner will show you
three pictures, again you pick one and then you will describe the picture you
selected.

The second examiner will be evaluaFng your language output.

Please note: they will only evaluate the language you produce. They cannot guess
what you mean. Never think “Oh they know what I mean”. No they don’t - and they
won’t try!

So make sure you produce enough language and that you speak clearly and loudly
enough so they can hear you and evaluate you.

The examiner will evaluate the following skills:

- your range of vocabulary

- do you speak fluently without too many hesitaFons
- your pronunciaFon
- do you make grammaFcally correct sentences

1. Vocabulary
They want to hear your range of vocabulary: do you use only a few words? For
example:

Sport ass gu. fir d’Gesondheet.

Or do you have a wide range of words? For example:

Reegelméisseg Sport maachen ass wichteg fir meng Gesondheet.

© Luxembourgish with Anne. All Rights Reserved 1

Try using synonyms: instead of repeaFng normalerweis, use gewéinlech. Keep it
varied by using a mix of dann, dono or méi spéit ...

With the picture descripFon try to avoid repeaFng: ech gesinn but rather add variety.

2. Fluency
Here are three things the examiners oUen look for:

- ease of speaking / fluidity

- hesitaFon
- repeFFon

Ease of speaking is basically how easily you connect your sentences. If for example
you say:
Ech kommen aus Frankräich vun Toulouse. Dat ass eng grouss Stad an ech hunn do
bis 2010 gelieH.

It’s a nice smooth flow. Good fluency. But remember, fluency is NOT speed. You do
not have to speak quickly.

Hesita7on & Repe77on

HesitaHon is Um 7 Auer, err, emmm …, ech euhh…ginn

That’s your hesitaFon.

RepeHHon is when you repeat and repeat and repeat, for example:

Ech ... em, ech wunnen um Belair. Ech wunnen mat menger Famill. Ech wunnen säit 3
Joer um Belair.

You need to listen to yourself and try to self edit when necessary.

3. PronunciaHon
Accent versus PronunciaFon: You may have any accent, whether it’s Chinese, Indian,
French, BriFsh, Italian .... Having an accent when you speak Lëtzebuergesch is
inevitable! But you must demonstrate a control of the Luxembourgish pronunciaHon
characterisHcs.

© Luxembourgish with Anne. All Rights Reserved 2

Typically these characterisFcs include individual sounds:

er sound: Ech erwächen ëmmer um 7 Auer moies. er sounds like a short “a”

d sound: Ech fueren an d’Stad d’ is pronounced like a t.

och sound: maachen / kachen / Buch remember ch aUer the vowels a, u, o is not
pronounced like the English ch as in church but rather as an open mouthed och

vowel combinaHons:

ee sound: heeschen / een / ee Meedchen Do not confuse this sound with the English
ee sound as in sheet. The ee sound is always long.

äi sound: E Glas wäisse Wäin / mäin there is no equivalent in English.

Listen to the video version of this lesson and pracFce with me.

vowel/consonant combinaHons:

eng sound: Ech hu keng / eng Duechter / Ech mengen listen to the video version of
this lesson and pracFce this sound with me and to make the difference with the
pronuniciaFon of meng.

It’s equally important to focus on the sound as the meaning of the words. That’s why
listening to spoken Luxembourgish is so helpful. Rather than reading words listen to
audios. Listen to the sounds.

📌 Advice 📌

Listen to the radio (RTL - Lifestyle / News or Eldoradio - Podcast) and listen first
carefully to the presenter’s pronunciaFon. Then listen again and try reading the
transcript (if provided) simultaneously!

4. GrammaHcal accuracy
The examiner needs to determine whether you have a grasp of key grammaFcal
elements:

- collocaFon

- noun/adjecFve agreement

- sentence construcFon

- verb conjugaFons

© Luxembourgish with Anne. All Rights Reserved 3

Colloca7on:

You should be aware of colloca7on. Do we say eng Dusch hunn or an d’Dusch goen.

The correct way is to say an d’Dusch goen or eng Dusch huelen. To have lunch is: zu
Më.eg iessen.

It is all about making sure you use the correct words that go together. The examiners
will be listening for your awareness and correct use of collocaFon.

Noun/adjec7ve agreement:

You must ensure that your adjecFves are in agreement with the nouns they are
describing. Depending on their placement (before or aUer the noun) they may
require an ending that agrees with the gender of the noun (masculine/feminine/
neutral/plural).

You will have an opportunity to pracFce this in the Noun /adjec7ve agreement
Exercise later in this module.

Sentence construc7on:

Two key elements of sentence construcFon will be evaluated:

a) Word order: ensure correct usage of verb 2. element/inversion in your sentences.

For example:

Normalerweis ginn ech owes um 6 Auer heem.

b) Simple or complex sentence structures:

What is simple structure? Basically, simple structures consists of one clause, for
example:

Ech wunnen an der Stad. Dat ass eng schéi Stad. Ech wunne gär do.

All three sentences are simple construcFons, just one clause.

Complex sentence structures join one or more clauses using conjuncHons, or

connecHng words, for example:

Ech wunnen an der Stad an ech wunne gär do. D’Stad ass schéin, mee et ass oH vill
Trafick.

ConjuncHons are words such as and an, but mee/awer, or oder, when wann

© Luxembourgish with Anne. All Rights Reserved 4

ConnecHng words are and then an dann, more precisely an zwar however
allerdéngs...

Try to use a good variety and range of connectors - you will find they are mostly
adverbs.

Verb conjuga7ons:

It is important to demonstrate you familiarity of verb conjugaFons:

goen
ech gi(nn)

du gees
hien/hatt/si geet
mir gi(nn)
Dir gitt
si gi(nn)

In Module 2, a list of useful verbs is provided. I highly recommend you pracFce the
verb conjugaFons for each.

Remember these three key elements to ensure your success:

Make sure to understand what is required from you.

Show that you are able to handle a social exchange - to make simple
conversaFon.

Demonstrate that you can talk about a topic and support your ideas with
examples.

 ADJEC T IV E E ND ING RUL E

Luxembourgish adjec>ves can be found either before or aCer a noun. Depending on

their placement, adjec>ves may be declined (endings that agree with the noun)
based on the noun’s gender (masculine, feminine, neutral or plural) and the case
(Nomina>ve, Accusa>ve and Da>ve).

Your ability to use the correct agreement/declension of adjec>ves and nouns, is an

evalua&on criteria of the Sproochentest. So make sure you are familiar with this
concept and prac>ce, prac>ce, prac>ce!

1. Adjec)ves AFTER Nouns

When the adjec)ve comes a"er the noun, there is no declension required :

Den Hond ass grouss. The dog is big.

D'Kaz ass grouss. The cat is big.
D'Haus ass grouss. The house is big.
D'Kanner si grouss. The children are tall.
As you can see the adjec>ve does not change when it comes a.er the noun.

2. Adjec)ves BEFORE Nouns (Nomina&ve & Accusa&ve)

In the nomina>ve and accusa>ve cases, when the adjec>ve comes before the noun it
is describing, then there must be an agreement between the adjec>ve and the
gender of the noun.

Adjec>ves that describe masculine nouns - add “e(n)” to the end of the adjec>ve.
Adjec>ves that describe neutral nouns - add “t” to the end of the adjec>ve.
Adjec>ves that describe feminine or plural nouns - no new ending required.

Examples:
Ech hunn e groussen Hond. I have a big dog.
Meng Noperen hunn eng grouss Kaz. My neighbours have a big cat.

Mir hunn e grousst Haus. We have a big house.

© Luxembourgish with Anne. All Rights Reserved 1

 Mir hu grouss Kanner. We have tall children.

3. Adjec)ves BEFORE Nouns (Da&ve)

The same agreement applies to the da>ve case. Although the da>ve declensions are
not part of your evalua>on, I wanted to share this grammar point with you here as it
will help you to improve your Luxembourgish.

Adjec>ves that describe masculine or plural nouns - add “en” to the end of the
adjec>ve.
Adjec>ves that describe neutral nouns - add “en”.
Adjec>ves that describe feminine nouns - add “er”.

Let's first look at sentences without adjec>ves and then the same sentences with
adjec>ves:

Hien seet dem Verkeefer Merci. He thanks the salesman.

Hien seet dem frëndleche(n) Verkeefer Merci. He thanks the friendly salesman.

Hien seet der Verkeeferin Merci. He thanks the saleswoman.

Hien seet der frëndlecher Verkeeferin Merci. He thanks the friendly saleswoman.

Ha` gë` dem Meedchen e Croissant. She gives the girl a croissant.
Ha` gë` dem klenge(n) Meedchen e Croissant. She gives the liBle girl a croissant.

Mir hëllefen eisen Noperen. We are helping our neighbours.

Mir hëllefen eisen alen Noperen. - We are helping our old neighbours.

Why do the following examples use the da)ve case?

Because verbs such as soen / ginn / hëllefen require the da>ve.

Exercises

Now that we’ve reviewed the different treatment of adjec>ves, it’s >me to
prac>ce the noun/adjec>ve agreements by comple>ng the exercises included
in this module. You will find them listed out on the study plan.

Now it’s your turn! In the first few sentences I have helped you out by idenFfying the
noun’s gender (masculine, feminine, neutral, plural), next you will need to
determine its appropriate agreement with the adjecFve.

Remember to consider whether the nomina0ve, accusa0ve or da0ve cases are used.

tures. Make sure to work through each to improve your facility in describing things.

To get started here is a useful framework to help you best describe a picture for the
exam.

A. Situa;on

in summer, in winter, in fall … am Summer, am Wanter, am Hierscht …

in the morning, in the evening, at the
moies, owes, de Weekend
weekend

Explain why erkläert firwat

Why do you think it’s the fall or summer, evening or morning? Are there clues in the pic-
ture you can use to describe it?

B. Ac;vi;es
What are the people doing? Wat maachen d’Persounen?

They talk to each other Si schwätze mateneen

They are walking Si trëppelen

They are eating something Si iessen eppes

They are sitting and drink a coffee Si sëtzen an drénken e Kaffi

They are cycling Si fuere Vëlo

They are cooking together Si kachen zesummen

He is wearing a blue shirt. Hien huet a blot Hiem un.

Physical appearance Ausgesinn

The woman has long brong hair. D’Fra huet laang brong Hoer.

He is tall and sporty. Hien ass grouss a sportlech.

They are laughing, they look happy. Si laachen, si gesi frou aus.

This framework (A,B,C) will really help you tackle the task – keep in mind that many of the
pictures at the exam will be of places in Luxembourg or in familiar seangs like a home
with a family.

D. Useful vocabulary
Try sound as natural as you can. One way to achieve this is to avoid star?ng each sentence
with “In the picture I see…”. Rather try to create a flow from one visual element to the
next. Work on using a variety of vocabulary to help you describe what you see.

I think… Ech mengen ...

I would say … Ech géif soen …

I’m not sure, but … Ech sinn net sécher, mee ...

That’s not clear … Dat ass net kloer ...

Perhaps … Vläicht ...

There is … / There are … Et gëtt … / Et ginn…

For example Zum Beispill

Connectors and Conjunc;ons

These are useful words that help you join simple phrases and ideas to create a more
complex sentence structure. It is good to provide a variety of sentences i.e. both simple
and complex as it demonstrates your comfort level in speaking the language.

Verbs
Here is a list of essen?al verbs that will help you on the oral exam. Look up the correct
conjuga?ons using the free online dic?onary lod.lu. A useful exercise is to write down the
conjuga?on of these verbs on flash cards or in your notebook and review them on a regu-
lar basis. Don’t forget to pay special agen?on to the irregular verbs!

E. Record yourself
Aier you have wrigen down a “script” to describe each picture it is important to then
record yourself describing the picture.
First record yourself reading your “script” to get comfortable with your sentences and
words and pronuncia?on. Imagine yourself in the room with the examiner and de-
scribe the picture to him/her.
Listen to your recording and assess your pronuncia;on and fluidity.
Next, record yourself again, but this ?me do not look at your script, instead try to de-
scribe the picture on your own.
Now, listen to this second recording and check how long it takes you to describe the
picture. This ?me you might realise you needed more than 5 minutes.
Why is this important? To make you aware of your hesita;ons.
Describe the same picture a third ?me recording yourself again. You will no?ce an im-
provement, perhaps a few less hesita?ons, may be you described it within 5 minutes.
Keep trying un?l you are sa?sfied with the result: a fluid, clear descrip?on in a maxi-
mum of 4-5 minutes.
Send the descrip?on and recording to your teacher and ask them for feedback.
Keep prac?cing by describing all 6 pictures included in this course un?l you feel com-
fortable with this task.

F. Never stop looking around you….

Why limit yourself to 6 pictures? Get in the habit of looking around and describing
what you see. Out the car window, in your home, walking in town. The more you get
into the habit of looking and describing the easier your task will be on the day of the
exam!

PART 2: EXAM DAY

As men?oned in Module 1 / Procedures, you will be shown three pictures by the ex-
aminer and you must choose 1 of the pictures to describe.

Tip 1: Choose your picture carefully

Quickly scan the pictures and be careful to choose the picture that best represents
the greatest scope of your vocabulary. Ask yourself, “which of these two pictures can I
say the most about?” Make a quick visual inventory of the contents of each picture
and think about which of the two you will best be able to describe with your vocabu-
lary. Keep in mind that you’ve got a maximum 5 minutes to describe the picture you
choose.

Tip 2: Drill down with details

For each element of the picture you describe, drill down on the details. For example if
you start with the people in the image, think of all the details you can use to describe
the person from physical agributes (tall, short, to the clothing they wear, colours too).
You can use this for objects, loca?ons, ac?vi?es etc. Use as many vocabulary words as
you can.

Tip 3: Remember to use correct adjec;ve/noun agreement

When you describe a person or an object ensure you are using the correct agreement
between the adjec?ve and the noun it is describing. Don’t forget this applies to the
adjec?ves that PRECEDE the nouns. Your correct usage of the agreement is in your
pronuncia?on. For example, ensure you pronounce the final -e of the adjec?ve: e bloe
Pullover.

Tip 4: Speak un;l the examiner stops you

Usually the examiner lets you speak for 4 to 5 minutes without interrup?ng you. Once
they have heard enough of the language you produce or once the ?me is up they will
stop you.
That said, should you fail to men?on some key vocabulary they will ask you one or
two ques?ons to try and illicit this from you.

For example: you’ve chosen a picture of the “Schueberfouer” and you forget to men-
?on where or when it is. Then the examiner may ask you:
Wou ass d’Schueberfouer? or Wéini ass d’Schueberfouer?

Model Descrip1on

A. Situa1oun
Op der Foto gesinn ech eng Famill, d’Mamm, de Papp an zwee Kanner,
e Jong an e Meedchen. Ech mengen, d’Famill ass an der Vakanz op enger exotescher
Plage. Ech gesi Palmen am Hannegrond. Ech mengen, et ass Summer. D’Wieder ass
immens guU. D’Sonn schéngt an et ass ganz waarm.

B. Ak1vitéiten
Ech mengen, et ass moies oder mëUes an d’Famill geet op d’Plage fir am Sand ze
spillen an am Mier ze schwammen.

C. Persoune beschreiwen
Riets op der Foto gesinn ech d’Mamm. Si ass zimmlech jonk. Si ass tëscht drësseg
(30) a véierzeg (40) Joer al. Si huet laang schwaarz Hoer. Si huet e faarwege(n)
Maillot an e rosae(n) Short un. Lénks gesinn ech de Papp. Ech mengen hien huet
ongeféier fënnefandrësseg (35) Joer an ass sportlech. Hien huet e rouden T-Shirt an e

Why is this a model descrip1on?

The descrip=on iden=fies where the scene takes place, who is in the picture and
what they are doing. (the A, B, Cs of the framework)

The family is then described: physically, what they wearing and by using locator
terms, such as lénks and riets, where they are situated in the picture. Objects are
also iden=fied and described.

 3- TOPIC - TOP TEN TIPS FOR ANSWERING QUESTIONS

Here are ten &ps that will help you successfully answer the ques&ons you will be
asked by the examiner. First let’s start with a typical ques&on you might be asked:

Maacht Dir gär Sport?

Do you like to do sports?

And your first response is: Nee!

Hmm, perhaps not the best answer, right? Then let’s get started!

TIP 1 – No one word answers

Simple yes / no answers are not a good idea. Such answers do not demonstrate your
vocabulary nor your ability with the language.

TIP 2 – Do not create long rambling answers

Expand your answers but not with words that do not address the ques&on.

Maacht Dir gär Sport?

Nee, ech maachen net sou gär Sport. Ech hu keng Zäit. Ech schaffe vu méindes bis
freides. Ech fuere moies fréi fort an ech kommen owes spéit heem an da kachen an
iessen ech mat menger Famill. Dono .....
Hmm, That's a bit too long and if you no&ce, it does not address the topic the
examiner is actually asking about – you and sport. This answer does not reveal your
knowledge/vocabulary about the ques&on Do you like to do sports?

TIP 3 – Be direct and address the quesOon

So how much informa&on should you share, how much should you expand?
Start by always trying to answer the ques&on directly, say why and give an
example(s) if you can.
Maacht Dir gär Sport?
Nee, ech maachen net sou gär Sport an ech hunn och net vill Zäit. Mee ech fueren
am Summer gär mat menge Kanner Vëlo, zum Beispill samschdes moies oder
nomëWes. Heiansdo gi mir och sonndes moies zesumme schwammen.

© Luxembourgish with Anne. All Rights Reserved 1

BeWer right? Try to add informa&on to your answers, informa&on that addresses the
topic of the ques&on while at the same &me makes it personal. For this ques&on, it is
about you and your rela&onship to doing sports.

TIP 4 – Be natural but pracOce!

Many people are nervous while taking the Sproochentest. That’s normal but the
more you prac&ce speaking the language the more confident you will become.
Prac&ce speaking with a teacher or a na&ve speaker as much as you can in the
months leading up to the test. When you can, use your Luxembourgish in the shops
or on the phone. It’s good to hear different voices, speech paWerns, speeds and
tones. The more your ear hears, the more familiar the language will sound to you.
This will help you gain confidence and feel more at ease. In the end you will sound
more natural.

TIP 5 – Don’t memorize

Don’t memorise answers for the test. Instead be familiar with the types of ques2ons
you will be asked and prac&ce formula&ng answers based on the model answers
provided in the module.

The examiner will recognize a memorised answer. They do not want to know if you
can memorize text, they do want to know if you can spontaneously produce
language on the spot.

TIP 6 – Do learn ‘blocks’ of language

New languages don’t always make sense to us, especially in their sentence/
vocabulary construc&on. Some&mes it is helpful to learn or acquire “a block” of the
language rather than struggle with its gramma&cal construc&on. When you acquire a
“block” you can then add these ready-made units of language into your sentences
and answers.

Think of the typical Lëtzebuergesch gree&ng:

Moien, wéi geet et?

It’s far easier to learn those 4 small words in a block than struggle trying to figure out
the construc&on of hello, how are you? Which in the end is not a direct transla&on.
BeWer to learn its equivalent How goes it? in Lëtzebuergesch directly.

A few more examples of phrases that are easier learned in a block.

Wéi üblech as usual

Wéi all Joer like every year
(Subject) gefält mir (subject) pleases me / I like (subject)

© Luxembourgish with Anne. All Rights Reserved 2

 Wann d’Wieder gutt ass when / if the weather is good
De ganzen Dag the whole day
Dat hänkt of that depends
Mat menger Famill with my family

TIP 7 – Listen carefully

Listen carefully to the ques&ons. Ojen they are filled with useful clues that will help
you with your answers. Ques&ons frequently contain the verbs, preposi&ons or
nouns which will help you formulate your answer. For example:

Vu wou kommt Dir elo?

Where are you coming from now?

Ech komme vun doheem.

I am coming from home.

TIP 8 – Get to know the quesOons you are likely to be asked

In the next lesson of this module you will be introduced to the typical types of
quesOons you are likely to be asked at the exam. Knowing the type of ques&ons and
their construc&ons will really help you prepare and put you at ease during the exam.
You will also learn model answer types to these ques&ons. In the end, the more that
you can make this exam familiar the easier it will be for you.

TIP 9 – Can you please repeat?

If you are not sure you have understood the ques&on or of equal importance, you
understood the ques&on but did not hear all the words, ask the examiner to repeat
the ques&on:
Kënnt Dir d’Fro widderhuelen, wgl?
Don’t worry, you won’t lose any marks if you ask the examiner to repeat a ques&on.
Your score is calculated on fluency, vocabulary, grammar and pronuncia&on and
knowing how to ask this ques&on demonstrates all of that too!

TIP 10 – Don’t stop!

Keep talking un&l the examiner stops you. If he/she does not stop you it’s because
they want you to keep producing language. But don’t worry if they interrupt you –
this can and should be expected.

 3 - COMMON QUESTIONS & MODEL ANSWERS

In this lesson we will look at the types of common ques5ons the examiner is likely to
ask you during the Oral Exam (the Topics discussion sec5on). In order to prepare for
this part of the exam, it is important to:

A) Familiarize yourself with the type of ques+ons you can expect from the examiner
(so there are no surprises!)
B) Prac5ce model answers to these ques5on types

Whatever topic you choose, if you can recognize these ques5ons and you can use the
model answer format to reply, it will increase your confidence and the fluidity of your
language output.
These ques5ons fall into 3 general categories that ask about preferences, sense of
5me and descrip5ons/explana5ons.

Preference Time & DuraDon DescripDon

Gär Like Säit / Zanter Since when Wat fir / Wéi What /
wéini een Which
Léiwer Prefer Wéi oS / dacks How o4en Wéi How
Wéi laang How long

So now let’s get familiar with the seven different types of ques5ons you will
encounter and how to formulate the model answers with which you can reply.
Note: Where you see the words (verb) or (noun), subs5tute any verb or noun you
need depending on the topic and the same for the words (acDons, duraDons etc.).

1. GÄR Ques5ons
When you hear the word gär in a ques5on, the examiner wants to know if you can
talk about what you like doing. The word gär is the important word, it’s the clue!
Gär ques5ons follow this format:

(verb) Dir gär + (noun / verb …)?

Ques+on Examples:

© Luxembourgish with Anne. All Rights Reserved. 1

 Maacht Dir gär Sport?
Do you like to do sports?

GiW Dir gär akafen?

Do you like to shop?

Note that Gär ques5ons are normally yes or no ques5ons and are easy to answer as
the examiner gives you the verb and the noun/verb in the ques5on. Your answer
should therefore start with a Jo (yes) or Nee (no) ….
Adding words like net, ganz, guer to your answer conveys to what degree you do or
don’t like something.

Jo/Nee, ech (verb) gär + (noun / verb …)

Answer Examples:
Jo, ech maache gär Sport, an zwar ...
Yes, I like to do sports, namely …

Nee, ech maache guer net gär Sport, allerdéngs ...

No, I don’t like to shop, however…

Nee, ech ginn net gär akafen, mee ...

No, I don’t like to shop, but …

2. LÉIWER Ques5ons
What do you prefer? Léiwer ques5ons usually contain the word oder (or) as in Do
you prefer this or that? Your answer will include the word léiwer as you indicate
what your preference is.

(verb) Dir léiwer ... oder léiwer + (verb or noun or adjecDve) ?

Ques+on Examples:
Maacht Dir léiwer kuerz oder léiwer laang Vakanzen?
Do you prefer to take (make) a short or long vacaIon?

Iesst Dir owes léiwer waarm oder kal?

In the evening, do you prefer a warm or cold meal? (literal: In the evening do
you prefer to eat warm or cold?)

Answer Examples:

© Luxembourgish with Anne. All Rights Reserved. 2

 Ech maache léiwer 3 oder 4 Mol d’Joer kuerz Vakanzen.
I prefer to take 3 or 4 short vacaIons a year.

Ech iesse mëees just eng Zalot an dofir iessen ech léiwer owes waarm.
At noon, I eat just a salad and therefore in the evenings I prefer to have a hot
meal.

3. SÄIT / ZANTER WÉINI Ques5ons

These words indicate the examiner is asking you since when have you been doing
something. Since when… accordingly your answer should include a sense of Dme i.e.
five years, 2 days, since I got married etc.

Säit / Zanter wéini + (verb) Dir …?

Ques+on Examples:
Säit wéini maacht Dir Yoga?
Since when have you been doing yoga?

Zanter wéini wunnt Dir zu Lëtzebuerg?

Since when have you lived in Luxembourg?

Ech (verb) säit / zanter + (duraDon) …

Answer Examples:

Ech maachen zanter / säit 3 Joer Yoga.

I have been doing yoga for three years.

Ech wunnen zanter 2015 hei zu Lëtzebuerg, an zwar …

I’ve lived in here in Luxembourg since 2015, namely …

4. WÉI OFT / DACKS Ques5ons

The clue to this ques5on is in the word oS, which is very close to the word o>en.
How o>en or how frequently do you do something. Your answer should indicate a
sense of frequency… once, twice a week, ojen, seldom, never etc.

Wéi oS / dacks + (verb) Dir …?

Ques+on Examples:

© Luxembourgish with Anne. All Rights Reserved. 3

 Wéi oS maacht Dir Yoga?
How o4en do you do yoga?

Wéi dacks giW Dir an d’Vakanz?

How o4en do you go on holiday?

Ech (verb) + (frequency) + (acDon)…

Answer Examples:

Ech maachen dräimol d’Woch Yoga, ëmmer an der Mëeespaus.

I do yoga three Imes a week, always at my lunch break.

Ech fueren eemol d’Joer an d’Vakanz, meeschtens am .....

I go once a year on vacaIon, mostly in …

5. WÉI LAANG Ques5ons

When the examiner asks you a ques5on with wéi laang, he or she is asking how
long… For how long do you play tennis? or How long is the movie? As such, your
answer should provide a sense of Dme or duraDon.

Wéi laang + (verb) Dir …?

Ques+on Examples:
Wéi laang maacht Dir Yoga?
For how long do you do Yoga?

Wéi laang bleiS Dir an der Vakanz?

How long will you be on holiday?

Ech + (verb) + (duraDon)

Answer Examples:
Ech maache gewéinlech eng Stonn Yoga, vun 12 bis 13 Auer.
I usually do one hour of yoga, from 12 to 13h.

Ech bleiwen normalerweis zwou oder 3 Wochen.

I normally go for two or three weeks.

6. WAT FIR Ques5ons

© Luxembourgish with Anne. All Rights Reserved. 4

When the examiner asks you Wat fir een/eng he/she means what kind or simply
what or which. In Luxembourgish this construc5on requires an arDcle (indefinite
ar5cle), either een / eng depending on the gender (masculine, neuter or feminine).
But there is no ar5cle for plural nouns.

You can replace Wat fir een / eng by Wéi een / eng*

*Use the singular ar5cle “eng” with this construc5on not only for feminine nouns but
also for plural nouns!

Wat fir or Wéi een / eng + (noun + verb) Dir?

Ques+on Examples:
Wat fir / Wéi eng Sprooche (plural) schwätzt Dir?
What languages do you speak?

Wat fir eng / Wéi eng Zort Wunneng (fem) huW Dir?

What kind of accommodaIon do you have?

Wat fir een / Wéi een Auto (masc) huW Dir?

What kind of car do you have?

For the most part, you can formulate your answers leveraging the words given to you
in the ques5on (verbs and nouns) and then add descripDve adjecDves or adverbs
to describe the verbs and nouns:

Answer Examples:
Ech schwätzen am Moment 4 Sproochen.
I currently speak four languages, namely …

Ech wunnen an engem groussen Appartement.

I live in a big apartment.

7. WÉI Ques5ons
Wéi ques5ons ask how you go somewhere or how you do something or the
examiner wants to know your opinion about something. Make sure you don’t
confuse Wéi (how) with Wéini (when).

Wéi + (verb) Dir/Iech …..?

Ques+on Examples:

© Luxembourgish with Anne. All Rights Reserved. 5

 Wéi giW Dir op d’Aarbecht?
How do you go to work?

Wéi informéiert Dir Iech iwwer d’Aktualitéit?

How do you inform yourself about the news?

Wéi gefält Iech Är Aarbecht?

How do you like your job?

Answer Examples:
Ech fuere mam Vëlo schaffen, allerdéngs ...
I ride my bike to work, however …

Ech liese reegelméisseg d’Noriichten um Internet.

I regularly read arIcles on the internet.

Meng Aarbecht gefält mir ganz gue.

I like my job very much.

Let’s recap our quesDon types:

KEY QUESTION WORDS QUESTION CONTENT

LÉIWER preferences
SÄIT / ZANTER WÉINI since when
WÉI OFT / DACKS frequency
WÉI LAANG how long
WAT FIR EEN / WAT FIR ENG what or which one

d’Schong méi bëlleg awer net ëmmer esou moudesch.
Ech kafen ni Kleeder op Internet ausser Sportskleeder. Ech moossen d’Kleeder
léiwer un.

Wat dot Dir u fir schaffen ze goen?

Ech doe vu méindes bis donneschdes en Tailleur, un entweder e bloen oder e beigen.
Dobäi doen ech eng unis Blus an Tallekeschong un.

Freides kënne mir lässeg Kleeder op der Aarbecht droen. Ech doen da gär eng
Jeansbox, e wäissen T’Shirt an Turnschlappen un.

Ass d’Moud wichteg fir Iech? Kuckt Dir wat am Trend läit?

D’Moud ass net esou wichteg fir mech. Allerdéngs interesséieren ech mech fir déi nei
Faarwen, déi am Trend leien, zum Beispill fir d’Summer - an d’Wanterkleeder. Ech
suivéieren och gär déi nei Moud fir d’ Schong.

Den Trend vun de Coiffuren oder nei Smartphonen oder aner elektronesch Apparater
interesséiert mech net.

Reest Dir gär?

• Jo, mäi Mann an ech reesen immens gär. Mir gi gewéinlech dräi oder véiermol
d’Joer an
d’Vakanz.

• Also, ech kann net soen, datt ech gär reesen. Ech fueren eemol d’Joer a Polen fir
meng Elteren ze besichen an am Summer verbréngen ech normalerweis zwou
Wochen a Fankräich mat menger Famill.

Gitt Dir léiwer op d’Mier oder léiwer an d’Bierger?

• Ech ginn ëmmer op d’Mier. Do kann ech mech richteg erhuelen. Ech raschte gär op
der Plage, sonne mech oder ginn an d’Mier schwammen. Owes ginn ech och gär
laanscht d’Mier spadséieren.

• Meng Fra an ech gi gär an d’Bierger. Meeschtens fuere mir an d’Schwäiz oder an
Norditalien. Mir wandere gär. Mee heiansdo fléie mir och op eng Insel, zum Beispill
op Lanzarotte oder Mallorca.

Wat ass Är Inspiratioun fir ze reesen? (Wat motivéiert Iech?)

• Meng Famill wunnt a Griicheland an ech reese gär fir si ze besichen. Ech
verbréngen all meng Vakanzen a Griicheland bei menger Famill. Do kann ech och
raschten a mech erhuelen.

• Ech fueren an d’Vakanz fir aner Länner oder Stied an hir Kultur kennenzeléieren.
Ech fannen dat immens interessant ze gesinn wéi d’Leit do liewen an fir d’Natur ze
entdecken.

Wou waart Dir fir d’lescht an d’Vakanz?

• Fir d’lescht war ech mat mengem Mann am Februar an de Wantersport. Mir waren
eng Woch an den Alpen a sinn do Schi gefuer.

 SUMMER / WANTER - F RO E N & ÄNT WE RT E N

Waart Dir de leschte Summer hei zu Lëtzebuerg?

• Jo, ech war am Juli zu Lëtzebuerg an ech si mat menger Famill op de Camping
gaang. Leider war d’Wieder net immens schéin, et huet vill gereent an et war
frësch.

• Jo, ech war en Deel vum leschte Summer zu Lëtzebuerg. Ech hunn näischt Extraes
gemaach. Ech hu mat Frënn doheem gegrillt, ech sinn heiansdo an d’Schwämm
gaang an ech sinn de Weekend oft mam Vëlo gefuer. Ech mengen, d’Wieder war
ganz gutt a waarm.

• Ech war de leschte Summer 1 Mount mat menger Famill an Indien a just 3 Wochen
hei zu Lëtzebuerg. Ech weess net méi, wéi d’Wieder hei war, mee an Indien war et
immens waarm. Et war all Dag sonneg a mir hate kee Reen.

Wéi gefält Iech de Wanter zu Lëtzebuerg?

• Ech hunn de Wanter zu Lëtzebuerg gär. Et ass net ze kal a relativ oft sonneg. Ech
hunn de Schnéi och gär, allerdéngs schneit et net esou oft. Ech ginn immens gär
am Wanter mat menge Kanner an d’Stad oder an de Bësch spadséieren. Dat gefält
mir.

• Mir gefält de Wanter zu Lëtzebuerg net esou gutt. Et ass kal a reenereg. Oft bléist e
kale Wand. Ech gi guer net gär eraus a bleiwe léiwer doheem. Ech fueren an der
Chrëschtvakanz ëmmer a Brasilie fir meng Famill ze besichen. Do ass et am
Dezember mega waarm a sonneg.

Wat fir e Sport maacht Dir am Wanter?

• Am Wanter maachen ech bal kee Sport. Doheem maachen ech e bësse Fitness mat
enger App an och Yoga. Dat ass alles.

• Meng Famill an ech ginn am Februar ëmmer an de Wantersport. Mir fueren

immens gär Schi a ginn och gär an den Alpe spadséieren. Wann ech hei zu
Lëtzebuerg sinn, ginn ech och Schlittschong op d’Äispist fueren.

 Vu wou kommt Dir? Vergläicht de Summer/Wanter hei zu Lëtzebuerg mam
Summer an Ärem Heemechtsland!

• Ech kommen aus Indien. An Indien, wou meng Famill wunnt, ass et immens
waarm am Summer. Et sinn oft iwwer 35 Grad an et reent quasi net. Ech hunn de
Summer zu Lëtzebuerg léiwer. Et ass méi lëfteg an net esou waarm.

• Ech kommen aus Russland an de Summer ass d’selwecht wéi hei zu Lëtzebuerg.
Heiansdo reent et, heiansdo schéngt d’Sonn. Et ass meeschtens waarm awer net
ze waarm, an owes ass et méi frësch. Mir gefält de Summer hei zu Lëtzebuerg an
och a mengem Heemechtsland.

• Ech kommen aus Russland an de Wanter ass vill méi kal wéi hei zu Lëtzebuerg. ET
ass mega kal, et schneit vill an de Wanter dauert laang. Mir gefält de Wanter zu
Lëtzebuerg besser.

Beschreift Ären Auto!

Ech hunn eng Jeep mat Automatik. Mäin Auto ass schwaarz a grouss. En ass relativ
nei a ganz confortabel.

Wat fir Transportmëttele benotzt Dir fir an d’Vakanz ze goen?

• Mir fléien all Summer a Griicheland. Mir hunn en direkte Vol vu Lëtzebuerg op
Athen. Dat ass praktesch.

• Mir reesen normalerweis mam Auto an Europa. Mir besichen eemol d’Joer meng
Famill an der Schwäiz a fueren am Summer a Frankräch an d’Vakanz.

• Ech verbrénge meng Vakanz ëmmer an Indien bei menger Famill. Dofir huelen ech
ëmmer de Fliger.

Wat fir en Transportmëttel benotzt Dir fir Kommissiounen ze maachen?

• Ech fueren ëmmer mam Auto an de Supermarché fir Kommissiounen ze maachen.

Dat ass praktesch.

• Ech hu keen Auto. Dofir ginn ech zu Fouss akafen. Heiansdo benotzen ech och de
bloe Vëlo. Wann et reent, huelen ech de Bus. Deen ass elo gratis.

Wéini gitt Dir zu Fouss?

De Weekend ginn ech gär an de Bësch oder an de Park spadséieren. Ech ginn och
an d’Duerf
zu Fouss akafen, zum Beispill bei de Bäcker, an d’Apdikt oder op d’Tankstell.
