Okay but like can you explain why instead of just scanning the QR code and finding this information out yourself, you went to Reddit? You don’t seem like a bot account, so there has to be some reasoning I’m not understanding.

Well it’s a bit funny that the Ministry and the ZLS are promoting a webpage of typical Luxembourgish insults but thinking a bit further about it, it also gives me ‘Idiocracy’ vibes. It’s a bit sad that they are basically making fun of Luxembourgish instead of actually doing their job of preserving certain words for instance or to check which words rtl for instance is using.

I’d post a link about where to learn to read, but oh well.

Apparently, they want to spread Luxembourgish teaching insults, is that correct?
A non-lëtz speaker reads it, understands zero, goes to the website, understand the word “insult”. Explanations are in Luxembourgish. Follows to ignore the whole campaign.
Great use of public money.

People are talking about functional illiteracy in the US, but man even if you don’t speak Luxembourgish there are plenty of context clues in this (mainly the fact that it is by the ZLS, as can be seen at the bottom of the poster)

The most offensive thing about it is the extremely corporate graphics style. The flat, deformed silhouettes of Corporate Memphis [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_Memphis](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_Memphis) were universally hated since the moment of their introduction 10 years ago already.
But here it kind of fits the theme, because it shows that the graphics artist responsible is a lazy laggard.

Imo it’s not a bad idea. I know tons of swear words in languages I don’t speak. If it gets some people interested in learning new words or our language in genersl then that’s a good thing

You can literally translate most of the ad within Google Translator, taking about 20 seconds of your time.

It’s advertising a recent book/website published by the government that explains the meaning of typical luxembourgish insults! Shame they put out all the ads in luxembourgish, when the thing they’re advertising for is literally meant to teach you the language…
