Writing, Reading and Teaching

I should have a field day with that prompt. I have taught German in South Africa and in Germany, English in Germany and Saudi Arabia. I have a post-grad degree in translation. I’ve always been writing. However, sometimes there is just too much to pick from.

So I’m taking the easy way out and simply advertise my other blog: Refugees welcome, where I write about my joys and tribulations of teaching a language to newcomers to Germany. Many but not all are refugees. Their one unifying quality is that they cannot read or write Latin letters. Some are primary illiterates never having learned to write at all, others are able to write in different scripts. As an added bonus, if you are interested, the blog is written in English and German.

And, dear fellow readers of this blog, I can highly recommend Refugees Welcome. Interesting, enlightening, often funny. I think any student who gets Elke as their teacher has struck lucky!
