Mika-holic Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 of course I know Luxembourg!! Welcome! I live in Tuscany, near Florence, in a small city well known by italian people but ignored by the rest of the world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cath85 Posted March 25, 2007 Author Share Posted March 25, 2007 And I like your national language! A Dutch woman I know moved to Luxemburg when she was 19 (she is over 40 now). We meet in the Netherlands occasionally and it's nice to hear her talking on the phone then with her husband and friends. To me it sounds like a friendly German dialect. Sorry, it's about languages again, I'm quite a language freak! never mind I'm a language freak too it sounds a bit like German that's true since it is from the same "language family". It is considered a language though, not a dialect. I guess you speak Dutch? you must understand a bit of our language then, because when I hear Dutch a few words sound like Luxembourgish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 Yes it does! It sounds quite similar to Dutch indeed. I remember from the early times of commercial tv that we had some programs in Letzebuergs here (an historical thing, resulting from strict media rules in Holland and so, anyhow broadcasting from Luxembourg was allowed). We got those programs in Letzebuergs as a service in return (Hei Elei Kuk Elei or something like that) . Still a few Dutch commercial tv stations have 'RTL' in their name though. Anyway, what about Mika in Luxembourg? Is he coming up there too at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he coming up there too at the moment? you got that right, but today it's not called "hei elei kuck elei" anymore, it was a stupid name anyway yeah he's been known here for a while I think we all are always a bit ahead he's actually already falling in the charts! I don't know how I could not have noticed him before, but I guess that is because I'm in France much of the time for uni and here English music always finds its way a bit later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sity Posted March 25, 2007 Share Posted March 25, 2007 thanks all you're so nice! lol yes the capital has the same name as the country, but I don't live in the capital, but in a VERY small village outside lol I'm sure though there are people from other continents who don't know where it is... Well there surely is people who doesn't know about my country either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
