Hi! I’m originally from Luxembourg and now live in the United States. My passion for languages and linguistics runs deep, especially for Luxembourgish and its fascinating history. Beyond that, I also like movies, science and history, all topics I’d love to explore and discuss with you during our lessons.
Whether you’re getting ready for a language exam, are curious about Luxembourgish culture, want to practice conversational skills, or dive into linguistics, I’m here to help.
Me as a Teacher
I am an enthusiastic language learner with a passion for Luxembourgish and all neighboring languages. I'm excited to share my knowledge with you!
If you're gearing up for the Sproochentest as part of your journey towards Luxembourgish citizenship, I'm here to support you from day one. I have designed a highly targeted, but flexible preparation program to get you from any level to the test. Contact me for an assessment of your level, and a roadmap to the Sproochentest. Let’s work together to achieve your goals.
My lessons & teaching style
Luxembourgish is predominantly a spoken dialect. I understand that finding practice material or conversation partners at the right level can be harder than for other languages.
In our lessons, we'll use a full suite of exclusive materials (audio, video, text) I've developed in collaboration with my sister also a Luxembourgish teacher on italki. The goal is to help you build foundational communication skills for everyday interactions
If you're interested in a more comprehensive exploration of the language to fully integrate into the cultural and political life of the country, we will look at excerpts from news media and podcasts to help move you towards full proficiency.

Phil is a superb Luxembourgish teacher. Thanks to him, I passed C1 Luxembourgish and continue to progress. He has a wealth of knowledge about how Luxembourgish became what it is today and about the history of the country. Our conversations are always engaging and I take something valuable away from each lesson.

Phil is an excellent instructor with keen understanding of my areas of improvement in the language, guided me effectively using various techniques towards the goal. I started learning Luxembourgish with Phil from scratch, and thanks to his classes and guidance that I passed the Sproochentest. I'm sticking with his lessons to become fluent in the language.
