This article deals with the topic of dyslexia in adults and its consequences for learning German during university studies; the author explores the extent to which an optimized German text influences understanding. The results of research on dyslexia and psycholinguistic research on text understanding show that depending on the text structure and the simplicity of the linguistic means used, different levels of text understanding may be expected. The main tool of the research is text optimization based on a practical application of the "Hamburg concept of understandability", involving four text properties which make the text understandable to different extents.
