Host language proficiency level of Ukrainian refugees in 2022, by country

Published by Statista Research Department, Nov 4, 2024
Almost one half of the Ukrainians who fled to Poland in 2022 spoke the country's national language to a high or intermediate level. The share of those who had a profound knowledge of Slovak and Italian amounted to 35 percent and 30 percent, respectively. Most Ukrainians living in Germany, Estonia, and Romania reported having a low proficiency level of their host country's language.

How well do you speak the language of the country you are currently staying in?
