For whom is this?
Counselling is open to interested persons who have at least B1 level.
What do we do here?
First you can tell about your expectations: What is difficult for you, where do you need support? We will talk about your learning biography: Which languages have you learned already? What kind of texts did you write? Can your experiences help you anyhow with writing in german?
Together with the advisor you will try to find strategies that can help you. Exemplary topics in our counselling could be: How can I find ideas for a text? How can I write a stuctured or logical text? How can I start writing the first sentences?
Using exemplary writing tasks we can try strategies you may be familiar or unfamiliar with. The goal is for you to be able to write texts in future without any help in a structured and confident way.
