“Wie sinn ech? Who am I?” is an innovative learning material with 55 cards with one side in Luxembourgish and the other side the translation in English. This game allows you to practice Luxembourgish (and English) in a playful way and, in the same time, discover and learn more about the culture and history of the Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg. Each of the 55 cards brings you a description of an important figure from the past or present of the country, either real or fictional, including the Grand Duc Henri, Ermesinde, John the Blind, Pierre Werner, Melusina, Andy Schleck, Lea Linster, Joseph Barthel, Jean-Claude Junker, Xavier Bettel, and also Coco Chanel, Leonardo da Vinci or Steve Jobs.

The principle is simple: you read the description and try to guess who it refers to. The game can be played at family dinner parties either individually or in teams.
