Take the course

If you’re the studious type, it’s worth signing up for the “contrat d’accueil et d’intégration” (CAI), a two-year programme in which you’ll attend two different workshops to better understand Luxembourg and be entitled to three free courses in one of the country’s
three languages. You can sign up for the CAI via the integration agency OLAI.

Get a dog

Luxembourgers are on the whole besotted with dogs. If you have a pooch or can borrow one, you’ll fit right in and meet plenty of Luxembourgers while you’re at it. Not at home enough to be able to have a dog? The Luxembourg-Gasperich dog centre or deierenasyl often needs volunteer dog walkers. Just turn up with an ID card at 1pm and you can take a dog for a stroll until 4:30pm.
