    DescriptionAn exploration of how Faroese for immigrants is an instrument of communication and not an emotional identifier of nationality. The importance of this difference can contribute to the path of Faroese as a second language (FSA) learning for immigrants. Learning Faroese is no guarantee for integration as other complex factors play a decisive role. Both the country and the immigrants have rights and responsibilities, and the Faroe Islands it appears is still not equipped to teach FSA in an equitable ansd socially just manner.
