You have a long and difficult journey behind you.

But now you have arrived in Germany. However “arrived” in German means a lot more: Become part of society and join in.

This app will help you to do this:

Learn German

You will find an introduction to the German language here with a lot of exercises you can do on your own.

Living in Germany

This app will be your companion for the first few weeks in Germany. It also has answers to practical everyday life questions.

Asylum, Apprenticeship, Job

What happens in the asylum process, how do you find a job or a vocational training position? This app has answers to many important questions.

At http://www.refugeeguide.de/ you will find a guide for visitors to Germany, refugees and future citizens. Its aim is to provide orientation to visitors when they first arrive in Germany. This guide aims to provide useful information for refugees for the time before they can participate in integration courses and German classes offered by the government. As of September 2015, this kind of information had not yet been provided in a guide for this purpose by the BAMF (Bundesamt für Migration und Flüchtlinge).
