We help you learn German. Understanding, speaking, reading, writing – we guide you step by step
The integration course for people with low literacy skills is aimed at immigrants who already have some learning experience and are literate in the Latin alphabet, but are unfamiliar with writing and learning in general. The course consists of a language course and an orientation course. In the language course, we first consolidate reading and writing skills. We also promote basic digital skills. We discuss topics from your life, explore the values of our society with you, and give you important tips and advice for everyday life. For some courses, we also offer childcare.
