Language and culture as two sides of the same coin is already a matter of agreement in the field of didactics (Kramsch 1996; Koreik 2013). Nevertheless, even today there are still many questions about how to address this issue in the classroom (Kramsch 2013). In this context, the present paper aims to analyze the process of building intercultural awareness through intercultural translation based on the analysis of personal letters written by a Brazilian woman to her relatives in Brazil during her stay in Germany, in which she relates her experiences with the carnival festivities. The analysis of the letters is based on the concepts of travel report and travel writer (Bassnett 2004, 2007), both coming from the Translation Descriptive Studies, as well as on the concept of intercultural translator (Lima 2021); and the analysis of the process of building intercultural awareness is based on the Intercultural Awareness Flow (Lima 2021). Thus, through these accounts in personal letters, it becomes possible to observe the construction of intercultural awareness of the travel writer in the role of intercultural translator and, from the understanding of this process, it becomes possible to become aware of some relevant aspects for German language teaching
