What the Sproochentest is
The Luxembourgish language test taken on the path to naturalisation. It is entirely oral — nothing you write is assessed.
Why you take it
It is the language requirement on the route to Luxembourgish nationality. Exemptions exist in certain cases — the INLL and Guichet.lu are the authorities on who must sit it.
Two different levels
You must understand more than you produce: B1 for listening, A2 for speaking. That gap is deliberate — and it is why passive vocabulary matters as much as active.
It is a conversation
You listen, then you talk: about yourself, your daily life, your work, a picture. Nobody asks you to conjugate anything in the abstract.
16Word is a vocabulary app, not an examining body. For registration, dates, fees, exemptions and the official rules, go to Institut national des langues and Guichet.lu . Deliberately, you will find no fees or dates on this page — a stale number here would be worse than none.
Where candidates actually get stuck
Rarely on grammar. Almost always on a missing word — and most often on the words that keep a conversation alive rather than the ones that name things.
If you can say “nach eng Kéier, wann ech gelift” instead of freezing, an examiner hears someone managing a conversation in Luxembourgish. That is the whole skill being assessed.
16 words a day
One 16-word session a day is roughly 480 words a month passing through active recall — then checked again at 7, 30 and 90 days, so the ones that stick are the ones you keep.
The 33 sets below hold 401 phrases in total.

Reading a list is not remembering it
This page is free and always will be. What Basic adds is the part that makes vocabulary stay: every topic, every page, real recall, and audio you can imitate.
Every topic and page
All 40 topics and every page — the free trial opens page 1 of Common Verbs. The path above spans housing, work, health, admin and more.
Unlimited new words each day
No daily ceiling: go as far as the day allows, then let spaced repetition bring the words back on schedule.
Speak your answers
Answer out loud with the microphone instead of typing — the closest thing to the oral exam you can practise alone.
