My tip
“I learn a bit more German every day. I always ask if I don’t understand something, I read German books and I watch films in German. I try to spend my time with people who speak German. At home I put up little sticky notes with new words I’m trying to learn.”
Furthermore, three skilled professionals who are already working in Germany report on their experiences and give some personal tips: The IT expert Ayushi Sharma from India, the hospitality trainee Khaled Elbarbary from Egypt and Daniela Noya, a nursery school teacher from Colombia. They explain what helps them with learning German, how they travel around Germany and how they have made new friends. You can also get to knowKhaled Elbarbary and Daniela Noya in videos.
