- What's wrong with you?

The question is asked time and time again in the group that for the day trains Swedish at the asylum accommodation Restadgård in Vänersborg.

The answers vary based on which sign you stand at. It's colds, nosebleeds and broken feet. But the conversation could just as well have been about how the table would be set, or what ingredients you need in the food.

Creates quieter living

The lessons in everyday Swedish have been arranged by the property owners to the asylum dwelling, Restad Gård AB, since 2017. To this day, they estimate that over 1000 people have completed the program, which is structured in six levels. In addition to facilitating integration into Swedish society, the aim was to create a quieter accommodation where the asylum seekers, who on average stay for two years, are better off.

Pinar Sabri has lived in Sweden for over three years and the lessons are important to her.

- I have to talk and I have to learn the Swedish culture, says Pinar Sabri.

The property owner pays

Restad Gård AB has employed four people on full-time and part-time services to work with language teaching, the whole project they pay for themselves. The funds paid by the Swedish National Education Council through the initiatives "Swedish from day one" and "Everyday Swedish" go to student associations and folk high schools. Ole Guldahl, who is responsible for the education, wants the government to make it an obligation for asylum-dwellers to arrange language tuition themselves and be compensated for it.

- Those who have completed this education have a prerequisite for integration that is far above those who come in without preparation. And so it should be.
