Use your German skills in a real conversation. Meet nice people and learn about Germany and its culture. We connect you at no cost.

3 steps to the contact

Fill out survey

Based on your interests & information, we will find the right person for you. Fill out our short survey (6 minutes).

Make an appointment

Once we have found the right person for you, we will notify you via e-mail or phone, depending on your preference. Then you can schedule your first meeting.

Speak and help with fun

Talk to each other by video, phone or in person. How often, for how long, and about what you talk is always up to you. Even 30 minutes a week makes a difference

4 reasons to join us

In addition to the free, non-binding and time-flexible participation, these advantages are important to us:

Neue Freunde finden

New friendships

Laughing together, hearing stories about other cultures that can't be found in any book and experiencing gratitude - many simply enjoy speaking with German learners.

Willkommenskultur und Integrationshilfe

Creating a culture of welcome

Arriving in a new country is difficult. Together with you, we want to make people feel welcome and enable successful integration - because integration is the responsibility of us all.
Lernen mit Spaß

Fun with teaching

We are not looking for teachers, you are not preparing a lesson. You just chat with each other. About common interests, for example. And in this way you help others to practice speaking German.

Zeitlich flexibel helfen

Flexible volunteering

Little World is not fixed, but depends on your everyday life. Having a nice conversation once a week - how does that sound? Even 30 minutes can help. A small effort that can make a big difference!

We quickly got to know each other well and now we share very personal stories and ask each other for advice. I am also a lot more confident with German. Thank you!

I think the project is super. It was very exciting to talk to the 88-year-old lady about the different moments in life.
