It is vital to learn the local language to feel at home in society and the professional world. In some cases, migrants must first acquire the basic skills of reading and writing in the Latin script, which is unknown to them. Only then are they ready for regular language courses.
Literacy courses are aimed at foreign-language people, who have never attended primary school or only for a short period and have no or incomplete reading and writing skills, or who come from cultural backgrounds with a non-Latin alphabet.
