Integration can be derailed by refugees seeing learning a new language as the beginning of losing themselves. While language is an integral part of culture, learning a new language is not necessarily about being stripped of one’s culture. Rather, learning a new language is about taking a step towards rebuilding life in a new country. While learning can be considered a matter of personal choice, failure to learn the adopted country’s language limits migrants’ or refugees’ chances in the job market.
