Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

Going to a McDonald's in Luxembourg it was quite amusing to see one person take on 4 orders in 4 different languages back to back. (English, Dutch, German and French)

On another note while most Luxemburgers will speak 4 or more languages, most people I spoke to wouldn't respond if you didn't speak the language they find "native" to their area. Until you then start speaking another one of the languages and they understand you're just a tourist trying to speak one of their languages.
