Lauschterübungen

In the exam we had dräi Lauschtertexter (three listening texts): 1) Noriichten (news) about an Accident — it was asked whether anyone geklaut huet (stole something) and whether anyone verletzt gouf (was injured). I had to find out what exactly geschitt (happened). 2) A Paar (couple) discussing their Vakanzplang (vacation plans) — they talked about wou (where) they want to spend their Vakanz and what they want to do. 3) A Diskussioun about Offerte for Telefon-pläng (phone plans), for calling am Ausland (abroad) — there were different Pläng and Tariffer (tariffs) compared. I had to understand what the beschten Offert (best offer) is and for whom it fits. It was not einfach

My exam had three Deeler (parts): 1) An Iwwerfall (robbery) — a Mann klaut (stole) something from enger Dam (a woman). Then the Police came and they asked what geschitt (happened) and how one should reagéieren (react). The Fro (question) was, among other things, what was geklaut (stolen) and if the Police is séier oder spéit komm. 2) A Refund (reimbursement) situation in a Buttek (shop): someone wants to give back Hosen (trousers), but they are already verkaaft (sold), so one cannot rembourséieren. The Verkleeferin (shop assistant) says: 'Soll ech dat flecken?' and 'War eppes futti?' She has to ask the Manager. 3) An Interview with the Camping-Manager. The Froen: Gëtt et dëst Joer Touristen? Wat kéint een fir d'Touriste verbesseren?

My exam had three Deeler (parts): 1) A text about a Museker (musician) — I had to describe what a musician does and answer Froen (questions) about it. 2) A text about a Bankiwwerfall (bank robbery / break-in). The question was: Wat gouf geklaut? 3) A Konversatioun (conversation) between two people about a new Wunneng (apartment) — I had to understand wou the apartment is and what the Leit think about it. It was a schéin Erausfuerderung (nice challenge), each part was anescht (different). The Konversatioun was the hardest because the Leit spoke séier (quickly).

An old Museker have problems with eyes. In the exam they asked, among other things: Wou war de leschte Concert deen dee gespillt huet? (Where was the last concert played?) And wou huet hie geléiert ze spillen? (where did he learn to play?)

Three listening exercises transcribed by the student on 4 October 2026. QUESTION 1: In Limpertsberg (Limpasbarg), a house alarm of unknown type went off, and 112 people heard it. The police arrived at the scene. QUESTION 2: In Differdange, a music club holds a class once a week. The boy is not sure he wants to go, but his mother really encourages it. He'd rather spend his free time with her instead of going out to activities. QUESTION 3: He asks her if she's happy with her job. She says it's OK but they would prefer if she worked all day. That makes her feel a little weird. So the boy offers to bring her to his office, where he says he can pay her more if she'd like to join them.

The listening track was about a taxi driver who got injured and had to be taken to the hospital. The question asked: "Is the driver OK?" I found it tricky at first to catch what exactly happened to the driver, but after a second listen I understood he was being driven to the hospital and was not in danger. The key was picking out the injury details and the word "Spidol".

A man was complaining that he bought a broken dress and wanted a reimbursement. He had also bought two pairs of jeans that were futti (damaged). The exercise asked what he wanted and why. The tricky part was catching the complaint vocabulary and understanding that he was asking for his money back ("remboursement"). Listening for the word "futti" helped me realise the jeans were ruined.

The track was about a writer who was publishing a new book. The questions were: Was he working in a radio? When will the book be published? Does he have a boring life? I had to listen carefully for the radio detail and the publication date. The hardest part was the question about his life being boring — the speaker never said it directly, so I had to infer it from the way he described his routine.

My speaking topic was Vakanz (holidays). They asked how often I go on holiday, where I usually go, whether I book online or through an agency, and what I do on holiday. They also asked which countries I want to visit in the future and why. I had prepared a lot about my last trip so I could speak fluently. The listening part had 3 tracks with multiple choice. Track 1 was about a power outage (Stroum Ausfall) in Belgium. Questions: where, how long, and what happened. I understood this well because the topic was relatable. Track 2 was about a wedding planner. The main question was how much experience the planner has — number of years and number of weddings. The numbers were said fast and I got one wrong. Track 3 was about car sharing. Questions: what is important for car sharing (reliability, cleanliness) and what is the price. The price was said quickly so listen carefully for exact amounts.

My topic was Kandheet (childhood). They asked where I grew up, whether I had siblings, what games I played, and how I got to school. They also asked about my favourite subject and whether I had pets. I had prepared a story about my childhood home and my favourite toy, which helped me speak naturally. The listening part had 3 tracks with multiple-choice questions. Track 1 was about buying a tablet in an electronics shop. Questions: which tablet, the price, and the warranty. This was the easiest because shopping vocabulary is familiar. Track 2 was two friends meeting in the city by chance. The man was on his way to the doctor. Questions: where are they, why is he going to the doctor, and what time is the appointment. They spoke quickly so I had to concentrate. Track 3 was about the Olympics. Questions: which sports, favourite event, and opinion of the games. I got all of these right because sport vocabulary is common. My advice: practise speaking about your childhood in Luxembourgish — it comes up and it's personal so it's easier to remember.

I was asked about Sport a Beweegung (sport and movement). Questions: do I do sport, what kind, how often, and whether I prefer group or individual sport. They also asked what sport is popular in my home country and whether I watch sport on TV. I spoke about running and yoga, and compared sport culture here with my country. The listening had 3 tracks, each with multiple-choice questions. Track 1 was a motorcycle accident. Questions: what happened, who was involved, and was anyone hurt. The vehicle vocabulary was hard so I missed one detail. Track 2 was at a train station in Differdange. Questions: how do they get to work, do they take the same train, why was the woman there, and how often does the train run — every 5 minutes. I almost missed the frequency because I expected '4 times a week' instead of 'every 5 minutes'. Track 3 was about a musician in a music course. Questions: why is he there (broke his foot), how often concerts, does he still play, and how he learned — by listening. Lots of detail so write down keywords while you listen. Tip: for speaking, use linking phrases like 'ausserdeem' and 'menger Meenung no' to make longer, more natural sentences.

I got Transportmëttelen (transport) as my speaking topic. They asked how I get to work, whether I have a car, what public transport I use, and whether I have a driving licence. They also asked about electric cars and car sharing. I spoke about taking the tram and sometimes the bus, and compared it with my home country. The listening had 3 multiple-choice tracks. Track 1 was a 112 emergency call about a burglary in a shop. Questions: what happened, where, and whether anyone was hurt. I got all of these right. Track 2 was about someone writing a book. Questions: what genre, how long they have been writing, and whether it is finished. This was manageable. Track 3 was about an electricity accident. Questions: how many people were injured and where it happened. I missed the location because they mentioned two places and I confused them. My tip: for the speaking part, prepare 2-3 sentences per topic from the 324 questions so you can speak without long pauses.

I was asked about Gesond liewen (healthy living). Questions included what I do to stay healthy, whether I eat organic, how much I sleep, and whether I do sport. They also asked if people in my home country are healthy, which let me compare. I used 'menger Meenung no' and 'am Ufank war et schwéier' to sound more natural. The listening had 3 tracks, each with multiple-choice questions. Track 1 was about an accident — a car and a bus. Questions: what happened, who called 112, and how many people were injured. I caught the cause but missed the number of injured people because they said it quickly. Track 2 was about a couple buying a house. Questions: how many rooms, does it have a garden, and what is most important to them. The answer about 'most important' was the garden, which I got right. Track 3 was about a music course. Questions: why is he in the course (he broke his foot), how often he has concerts, and how he learned music — by listening. This was the hardest because there were many details packed in.

My speaking topic was Wunnen (housing). They asked me where I live, whether it's a house or apartment, how I found it, and about my relationship with my neighbours. I had prepared answers about my apartment — the floor, the balcony, the parking situation. They also asked what I would change about my neighbourhood, which I hadn't prepared but managed to answer using phrases like 'menger Meenung no'. For the listening part there were 3 tracks with multiple-choice questions. Track 1 was a phone call to a doctor's surgery — someone booking an appointment. The questions asked what day, what time, and whether it was a first visit. I got this one right because appointment vocabulary is common. Track 2 was about a restaurant — two friends deciding where to eat, what to order, and splitting the bill. The questions were about the restaurant name, the dish chosen, and who paid. I missed one because they mentioned two dishes and I picked the wrong one. Track 3 was a conversation at a train station — someone asking about departures, delays, and which platform. The questions covered the destination, the departure time, and the platform number. Numbers and times are always tricky so practise those.

I took the listening exam recently and here is what I remember from the three tracks. Track 1 was about buying a tablet. Someone was in an electronics shop talking to a salesperson about which tablet to choose, comparing prices and features. I found this one the easiest — the vocabulary was familiar and the conversation was straightforward. Track 2 was a discussion between a man and a woman who met in the city by chance. They were catching up, and the man mentioned he was on his way to the doctor. They talked a bit about his health and why he had the appointment. This one was a little harder because they spoke quickly and mixed in some small talk I had to follow. Track 3 I understood everything. It was a conversation between two friends, a man and a woman, who met by accident on the street. She wanted to buy a house and was asking for advice, and he was talking about his work and how busy he had been. The topics were everyday things so it was manageable. My tip: focus on the first few seconds of each track — they usually set the scene and tell you who is talking and why.

These were the three tracks on my listening exam. Track 1 was about a motorcycle accident (Accident Motor). Someone described what happened on the road, who was involved, and whether anyone was hurt. The questions asked about the cause and the consequences. I found this one the hardest because of the specific vocabulary around vehicles and injuries. Track 2 was about the Olympics (Olympesch Spiller). The conversation was about someone who watched or attended the Olympics, which sports they followed, and what they enjoyed most. The questions were about their favourite event and their opinion of the games. This was manageable because sport vocabulary is common. Track 3 was about car sharing (Car Sharing). The two main questions were: what is important for the car sharing, and what is the price of the car sharing. You had to catch the details about what matters (reliability, cleanliness, punctuality) and the exact cost per trip or per month. The price was said quickly so I had to listen carefully. My advice: before the exam, practise listening for prices, times, and reasons — those are the details the questions always target.

I want to share my listening exam experience with the three tracks. Track 1 was about a power outage in Belgium (Stroum Ausfall). Someone was describing how the electricity went out in their neighbourhood, how long it lasted, and what they did during the blackout. The questions asked about the location, the duration, and what happened. I understood most of it because the topic was relatable. Track 2 was set at a train station. The questions covered several things: how the people go to work, whether they take the same train, why the woman was in Differdange, and how often the train drives. The answer to the frequency was that the train comes every 5 minutes, which I almost missed because I expected them to say something like "4 times a week." Listening for exact time expressions is really important here. Track 3 was about a musician in a music course (Musek cours). The questions were: why is he in a music course — because he broke his foot and had to rest; how often he had concerts; does he still play music today; and how did he learn — whether by reading notes, by listening, or by writing. The answer was that he learned by listening. This track had a lot of detail packed in, so I had to concentrate. My tip: don't panic if a track has many questions — write down keywords while you listen and match them afterwards.

Here is my experience with the three listening tracks on my exam. Track 1 was about an accident — I think it involved the pompiers (firefighters) and a car. The questions asked what happened ("Wat ass geschitt?") and who helped ("Wien huet gehollef?"). You had to catch the details about what caused the accident and which emergency service responded. I missed one detail about who called for help. Track 2 was about people who want to buy a house. A couple was discussing what they were looking for — the number of rooms, the garden, the price. The questions were about their criteria and what was most important to them. This was okay because the vocabulary is common. Track 3 was about a wedding planner. The main question was how much experience the wedding planner has ("Wéi vill Erfarung huet den Hochzäitsplanner?"). You had to listen for the number of years and the number of weddings they had organised. I found the numbers tricky because they said them fast. My advice: practise numbers and prices a lot — they come up in almost every track.

I had 3 parts. A place someone lived and what activities or police were around. The second one I think it was a storage box or post box and something was wrong with the box. And the third was an interview from a guy from a commune or something and they asked about tourism and camping and why people come to camp in Luxembourg. I don't know how I did but I understood that much. Even multiple choice is difficult
