Immigrants: Work and learn

Unique in Norway, unique in the world?

Josephines Kafe... in Stavanger.

Providing education for 15 immigrants in a reallife work environment. Once you get in you're only allowed to speak Norwegian (the students that is).

It is pointed towards adult immigrants without any previous school-experience. They learn by doing, and graduated immigrants are living proof this is a rewarding project.
While they learn by doing whatever has to be done in a Kafe-restaurant, customers enjoy cheap meals. Ours was even for free ;-)

I'm happy!


C ya !

And how well is your own Norwegian already? Enough to spell out a menu and pay the bill at the store?

Well, I've started learning on my own the last dys, and now it's improving a lot...

Language classes are very useless. Better of learning on my own.

Snakker Norsk, det er gjør! Jeg har started lære Norsk av selv og det gjør bra :-).

Talking Norwegian is fun! Ik started learning Norwegian by myself en it's going fine...
