KawiThe Luxembourgish app for children who don't hear it at home.
Through play, Kawi walks with them all the way to précoce and Spillschoul, so they arrive on familiar ground.
Three things that change everything, long before they can read.
They hear the real language
Every word is spoken with the official pronunciation from the LOD.lu dictionary, the very one they'll hear in class.
They dare to get it wrong
Nobody corrects them, nobody marks them. They listen, they repeat, they start again as many times as they like.
They arrive on familiar ground
On the first day at précoce or Spillschoul, the teacher's words no longer sound foreign.
Kawi was born from a first day of school.
Kawi is the nickname of the Kaweechelchen: the squirrel, in Luxembourgish.
"I arrived in Luxembourg without a word of Luxembourgish. Like so many people. Then one day, a teacher spoke to my son in a language I didn't understand, to a child who, unlike me, would have to understand it. I decided to learn at the same time as my children, in the evenings, a little at a time. Kawi was born from those evenings."
