Is this book a good choice for me?

If you like reading and have a basic knowledge of German (A2 level according to the European Framework of Languages), you will enjoy this book. The story is interesting to read and challenging enough to keep your brain working without feeling overwhelmed. Cultural hints throughout the book will help you to understand Germany and the Germans better. In my experience as a teacher, I’ve found that students who read a lot make fewer grammar mistakes and speak more fluently.

Carla – Ein Portugiesin in Deutschland

“Jobsuche in München” is the second book of the “Carla – Eine Portugiesin in Deutschland” series. The first book, “Carla will nach Deutschland” was written for A1 students who are learning German from scratch. The remaining two books of the series (B1 – Ein unvergesslicher Urlaub + B2 – Umzug nach Berlin) are suitable for intermediate students (B1/B2). You’ll meet the same characters in all four books but each book can be read independently.
