When you boil it down there's no good reason why any country exists, other than that the people that live on that land want it to exist. The reason they want it to exist is usually because the countries next to them don't want them to exist, and it would be awkward if they lived in the same country.

Or ''only'' german, french and luxemburgish? 2- How's school in there? How many students are in a class? 3- Is people nice there? I know this might depend but I'm super nervous about having to speak in french the whole time and I'm not capable to speak german or luxemburgish, so I feel insecure about being alone because of the lenguage 4- In french when you first meet a new classmate (like 14 years old, like me), you have to speak with ''vous'' or ''tu'' beacause here in spain we rarelly speak with ''vous'' unless it's a very old person (we never say ''vous'' to the teachers, for example) 5- Please, could you tell me some cool places to hang out with friends? It's not a really big country so there are lots of aviable experiences that I would love to archive in order to be more integrated with the locals. 6- Are there as many portuguese people as they say?

Luxembourg's motto is "Mir wëlle bleiwe wat mir sinn", which means "We want to remain what we are". This motto comes from the chorus of the 1859 patriotic song "De Feierwon", and refers to the fact that Luxembourg wants to stay independent from its neighboring countries. Out of context, I think it's one of the stranger mottoes out there. It makes it sound like they hate change.

Hi @Ice bear . I doubt that you still need this, but: Yes, everyone speaks English. It’s really common for people to speak at least 4 languages. It really depends for each school, but I’d say that less than in Spain. Yup, everyone is super nice. And don’t worry ab not speaking Luxembourgish there. I’ve lived for 14 years in Luxembourg and still don’t know any. No, we don’t really speak in “vous”, just take a friendly approach. There aren’t many places to hang out, but the city centre is fine. You can also go to the cinemas and to the Auchamp supermarket in Kirchberg. It’s true that there are many Portuguese people, but it’s not like something you really notice

Fun bit of historical trivia: the last male heir to the House of Luxembourg and Holy Roman emperor, Sigismund, was the founder of the Order of the Dragon, from which Dracula gets his name.

Letzelburgisch is a German dialect. A franconian language very similar to the rest of the German dialect spoken in the region. But Luxemburg didn’t join the German standardization convention on the writing but keeps writing as they speaks. Compared to Switzerland, which also has a heavy dialect and a Swabian-Alleman language which is very distinct from the artificial High German, but Switzerland uses the conventional German writing system as does Germany and Austria. The Netherlands are also similar to Luxemburg in this regard, although their German dialects are both Franconian in the Hollands like Letzelbergisch or Moseldeutsch and also Nethersaxon like the old dialects of Lower Saxony in the Eastern Netherlands or Northern Germany.

I'm French, so I guess I have no reason not to go to Luxembourg, seems like a nice place, kinda like the EU in a nutshell.

Probably German since luxembourgish is a German dialect which you can understand pretty good if you know german.

The European Union is actually based off the Dutch union. *BENELUX* With so many lager neighboring nations/countries, you need Allies with common threats. Belgium - NETHERLANDS - Luxembourg.... Following the (trade) union after the splitting of the Netherlands into Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. Luxembourg has a very good, strong strategic location. As you pointed out, and if the Netherlands compares to a postage stamp in size, Luxembourg is the size of a green bean, from the princes and the bean. As a Nederlander, I find it strange how these facts always seem to slip the cracks while others from other nations try to explain things. You need to understand the full history of Europe, West and East in connection to the Roman Empire and the state religion Christianity. With this you need to know we have been ruled by many other nations cultures before we got our own, officially. And still the map is not the same as the location.

The Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, and Austria are the scars of the Holy Roman Empire. (Otherwise they would all be the same country, Germany)
