Challenges

Of course, living in a country where you do not speak the local language can present challenges. From ordering a coffee to resolving bureaucratic issues, everything becomes more complicated. The Portuguese community in Luxembourg is quite united and many services are provided among them, but relying on the help of children or translators is common for dealing with more complex situations.

To improve your chances in the job market and have a more peaceful life in Luxembourg, it is important to learn at least one of the local languages. French is generally the most accessible for Portuguese speakers. English is widely spoken and can open many doors.
