Vivre Ensemble PrepThe Luxembourgish civics testCitizenship isn’t decided
on the language alone.
You are learning the language of the country. There is a second piece to the file, and it has nothing to do with linguistics: a civics test, sat once you have followed the course “Vivre ensemble au Grand-Duché de Luxembourg”. Worth knowing what is coming.
- 40 questions · 60 minutes
- 3 official topics
- 5 interface languages
What this is about
One course, one test, three topics
Learning Luxembourgish is only half the road. The course “Vivre ensemble au Grand-Duché de Luxembourg” is the other half: it covers the country itself — its freedoms, its institutions, its history — and ends with a test.
Good news for anyone coming from the language side: this part demands no command of Luxembourgish at all. The test is written, multiple choice, and sat in one of the languages offered by the official portal. What it asks for is memory and understanding: recognising a principle or an institution in wording you had not seen in class.
Fundamental rights
What the Constitution guarantees every person living in Luxembourg, and what it expects in return.
Institutions of the Grand Duchy
Who decides what, from the Grand Duke down to the commune — the machinery of the country you are asking to join.
Luxembourg’s history in Europe
How a small territory became an independent state, then one of the founders of the European Union.
Why an app
The same logic as for the language
What works for Luxembourgish works here too: short, repeated sessions rather than last-minute cramming. That is the principle behind Vivre Ensemble Prep — you answer a few questions on your commute, read the explanation, and the material settles bit by bit instead of being swallowed whole.
The app also lets you sit under the exact conditions of the test: the number of questions, the time limit and the official pass mark are reproduced as they are, so you know before the day whether you are there. Every answer comes with its explanation, and the interface switches between five languages without losing your progress.
The app is developed and published by Luxify, like Aurelux.
In which order
What is worth starting first
If you are here, you are probably already working on the language — and that is the right instinct. Luxembourgish is by far the longest part of the file: it cannot be crammed, it has to be built. The Aurelux app covers that ground, a course with a certified teacher speeds it up, and Wuertschatz lays down the vocabulary week after week.
The civics side, by contrast, can wait: it is handled in blocks, later, without anything being lost in the meantime. The most common mistake is the reverse — reassuring yourself by revising institutions while the Luxembourgish stalls. For the language exam itself, see the Sproochentest page.
Preparing the “Vivre ensemble” test
On its website, the app provides a freely accessible simulator so you can gauge the level expected without installing anything.
