Luxembourgish animal flashcards, with sound and ready to print.

By the Kawi team · Updated

Tap an animal to hear its name in Luxembourgish, then print the cards to play at the table. These flashcards are part of our games for learning Luxembourgish without screens: your child plays with paper, and you play the word.

Farm animals

Each word's gender is shown under the pronunciation: like German, Luxembourgish has three genders.

Wild animals

The ones children meet in picture books and at the zoo.

Print the flashcards (free PDF)

The freshly printed Animals card sheet, and two cards already cut out: Kaz, the cat, and Hond, the dog.

The PDF holds the animal cards, ready to cut out, with the Luxembourgish word, its pronunciation and the English translation. Print it on thick paper if you can: the cards will last longer in the hands of a 3 year old.

Your questions

How do you say cat in Luxembourgish?+
Kaz. Dog is Hond, cow is Kou and horse is Päerd. Tap each card on this page to hear the official pronunciation from the LOD.lu dictionary.
How do I use flashcards with a toddler?+
Few cards at a time, three or four, and short games: point to the right card, act out the animal, sort the cards into families. Play the word, let your child look, and celebrate every success.
Are these printable flashcards free?+
Yes. The animal PDF downloads from this page, with no sign-up. Cards for the other themes print from the Kawi app.
Does my child need to read to play?+
No. Your child recognises the picture and hears the word. The written word on the card is there for you, the adult.
