Abstract
The Grand Duchy of Luxembourg is a sovereign state of 2 500 square kilometers bordered by Belgium, France and Germany. It has a population of over 455 000 of which 38.6 % are foreigners. The city of Luxembourg has a population of 77 300. Each working day, over 117 000 cross-border workers travel to the Grand Duchy from neighboring Belgium, France and Germany, making up almost 40 % of the workforce. But, as far as I'm concerned, I was accommodated in Luxembourg City. The official languages of Luxembourg are French, German and Luxenbourgish. However, because of the success of Luxembourg in attracting foreign business and personnel, and the languages skills of the local population, English is now widely used in the financial service sector. Few of my colleagues spoke French and it enables me to use my English.
