Hello!
I live in Witten and on the 11.10, Wendsday from 12.15 I have a termin with the local Arbeitsamt.
I had an a person willing to come with me, but sadly today he texted me that he wont be able to make it, due to an accident.
So, 2 days before the termin I am left without anybody. I speak very little German, I started calsses, but very recently.
I dont have a lot of hope, but decided to ask if anybody is willing to join me and come with me to the termin.
Of course, I will pay for your time and services.
Thank you
Dear fancy839 I am sorry to hear about your friends accident and hope he will get better soon.
There is a project, Laien-Sprachmittlerpool, which accompanies and translate at appointments, like Arbeitsamt or the foreigners department. However, the prefer a request at least a week before the actual appointment but you might want to give it a try. Surely, you can save the application form for future appointments, too.
Please note, that the project is currently funded by the federal state. The translators will receive a little fee (15€/hours, each additional 30 minutes: 5€) and some travel expenses (0,30€/km). You will need to fill out the refund application after your meeting with the translator.
Feel free to reach out, if you have further questions.
Hi fancy839, I hope you are well I just wanted to double check if you need any further information.
Best wishes
