ABSTRACT
Knowing the host country's language can affect many things, including access to the labour market, education, or daily life in the host country; therefore, learning local languages is essential to integrating refugees into the host country. This is why many state and non-state initiatives have been set up in the V4 countries to help with language learning. The chapter discusses good practices in teaching local languages in the V4 countries, focusing on the role of important actors in this process, such as the state sector, NGOs, and educational institutions. The research identifies three main challenges refugees face when learning a local language in the V4 countries: flexibility, accessibility, and quality of the courses offered.
