Do you think these are really the three foundations of integration into Slovenian society?​

1. At least basic knowledge of the Slovenian language.
2. Openness of spirit.
3. Desire to accept the new and to integrate.

It is really very difficult to join a Slovene-speaking society if you do not know Slovene. The first step towards integration is therefore to show your willingness to want to understand and communicate with your surroundings. If you are at the beginning, you can help yourself in part with English, but know that not all people in Slovenia speak English. First, you can study on your own, as a self-taught person, or take a language course.

We offer many pathways to knowledge of Slovene and other foreign languages ​​to all those who want new knowledge. We invite you to take advantage of the rich offer of free courses for you, conducted by accessible and professional teachers who take care of their continuous professional development and use modern didactic methods in teaching.
