Luxemburg language teacher at work
 

Since a language is not only a way to communicate but also a product of culture, teaching one implies teaching the culture it belongs to. This is how local language lessons become symbolic exchanges between communities.

In "Fësch liewt am Waaser (Fish lives in water)" the language lesson is portrayed as if it was a staged performance.
