Let's start off with some interesting notes about Luxembourg, or should I say Grand Duchy of Luxembourg?
- It is considered a microstate in Europe according to its size and population.
- It has 3 official languages: German, French and Luxembourgish.
- The first years of primary school are in Luxembourgish, before changing to German; while in secondary school, the language of instruction changes to French. Proficiency in all three languages is required for graduation.
- It is 1 of the 49 landlocked countries - this means it isn't connected to the World Ocean.
