Hamburg Leicht

Great places in Hamburg.
Described in easy language.

We think Hamburg is a beautiful city.
And we want to show everyone
how great Hamburg is.
That is why we write about the beautiful places in Hamburg.

You can find these places in the app:
- The port of Hamburg
- The Reeperbahn
- The town hall
- The Michel
- The miniature wonderland
- The Hagenbeck Zoo
- The Hamburg football clubs

You can also find information about the locations.
For example:
- When a museum is open.
- What you can do in one place.
- What tours you can do.

We write in easy language.
And we explain difficult words.

That is why we write in easy language:
Easy language makes texts easy.

Most of the texts are in difficult language.
For example:
• Texts on the Internet
• Or texts in an app

But:
Heavy language is an obstacle
for people with intellectual disabilities.
You will then often need help with the text.
For example:
The supervisor explains: It's in the text.

This is what Lebenshilfe works for:
There should be more texts in easy language.
Easy language is important for people with intellectual disabilities:
• So that everyone can read a text well.
• So that everyone understands what is in the text.
• So that everyone has good information.

There are many rules for easy language.
For example:
• Simple words
• Short sentences
• Big font

This is also important:
People with intellectual disabilities check the text.
For example, whether the text is really light.
Sometimes the examiners find a difficult word.
Or a difficult sentence.
Then we have to write the sentence better:
So that everyone can read the text well.

The texts in the app have been checked:
From participants on the Uhlenhorst campus.
