Luxembourgish A2 Workshop : Oral - Focus Pronunciation

TARGET AUDIENCE

You have learnt the basics of the Luxembourgish language and at least completed an A1 level, but you are under the impression that you have difficulties pronouncing certain sounds as well as differentiating certain sounds while listening. As a consequence, you notice that your interlocutor sometimes has difficulties understanding you, or you do not feel at ease while speaking Luxembourgish.

SKILLS TAUGHT

Listening and speaking

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Assuming regular attendance and independent study, you should be able to do the following by the end of the course:

• understand better
• be better understood
• pronounce better
• feel more at ease while speaking

COURSE TYPE

A conversation workshop – focus: pronunciation A2 (once a week, 1h40 each course, for one semester):

• is based on the work schemes drawn up on the basis of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR)

The starting point of this workshop will be oral expression (small dialogues, prepared conversations, spontaneous dialogues, etc.). During these exercises you will always pay attention to articulation and pronunciation, prosody, accentuation, etc. You will also learn to “hear” better and to distinguish between different sounds. You will mainly work according to the verbotonal method (corrective phonetics).
