Overcoming Language Barriers: Personal Accounts from Witten
Language skills open doors to new worlds. But how does it feel when you initially stand before these closed doors? In the heart of Witten, the educational institute Lernimpuls Witten e.V. has helped countless people open these linguistic doors. We spoke with some of them to share their personal stories. Here are the accounts of people who have improved their communication skills through language courses in Witten.
From Inhibitions to Confident Conversations: Monika's Story
Monika, 28 years old, moved to Germany five years ago. “I could only speak a few words of German when I arrived,“ she recalls. After a few months in Witten, she discovered Lernimpuls Witten e.V. and decided to enrol in a language course. “The first few days were challenging. But thanks to the support of my teachers and classmates, I began to see progress.“ Today, Monika works at a local company and communicates confidently in German every day.
Language Barriers in Professional Life: Ahmad's Transformation
Ahmad, an engineer from Syria, found work at a company in Witten. But the language barrier posed an obstacle. “Technical German is a whole different challenge,“ he says. Through a specialised language course at Lernimpuls, he was able to improve not only his general language skills but also his subject-specific ones. “Now I can express myself in meetings without any problems and understand technical documents.“
A New Home and a New Language: Lara's Journey
Lara, originally from Russia, moved to Witten to be with her family. “I didn't just want to learn the language, but also to understand the culture,“ she says. Lernimpuls offered her the opportunity to do both. Through cultural events and language courses, she soon felt like part of the community. “ Witten is now my home, and the German language is a big part of it.“
