A sit down with podcaster/single mom/YouTuber/Luxembourgish teacher Anne Beffort, if you aspire to pass your Sproochentest, this is the podcast for you!
Are you committed to living your best life in the Grand Duchy? Does that include earning Luxembourgish citizenship by passing the Sproochen Test? Do you have a goal to integrate better into the country? Or do you just want to hear a story of a single mom following her passion? If you answered yes to any of the questions above, this episode is for you!
This week in the studio I’m joined by Anne Beffort. The founder of “Luxembourgish with Anne”, which offers private and semi private classes dedicated to helping foreigners learn Luxembourgish at all levels. What I love so much about her story is that it’s so unlikely. She started out in finance, and after going through a divorce and becoming a single mother, she found herself wanting to do something she was passionate about. The evolution was totally organic and she really is living her dream.
Anne embodies the multicultural and multilingual essence of this small yet vibrant country. Born and raised here, she navigated the cross-border cultural tapestry that Luxembourg offers. From a childhood spent hopping across borders for French croissants to mastering four languages by adolescence, Anne's story is one of seamless cultural integration.
Anne's language courses have grown to offer diverse teaching methods, including one-on-one sessions, small group classes, and self-study courses – all available online. Rooted in neurolinguistic training, Anne emphasises visual learning techniques and interactive engagement, ensuring students not only learn the language but also feel at home using it.
For those aiming to become Luxembourg citizens, like yours truly, the Sproochentest is a requisite step.
Anne specialises in preparing students for this challenge with her "Zero to Sproochentest" course, designed to take absolute beginners to a conversational level in just six months through daily practice and commitment. And it’s got a 93% pass rate! In addition to the classes, Anne also hosts a chart topping podcast called “Luxembourgish with Anne” and her own YouTube channel.
I loved having Anne on the show because she’s a single mom who took a career pivot and is running her own successful business. An inspiration to us all! Have a listen and let me know what you think.
