Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. How much did you improve your English?
My level before: At ease in most situations My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
Learniong English in Britain is easy. Ony problem as a foreigner: courses are often with other foreigners and one has to carefully make sure that there is no lack of communication with native speakers. Participating in any kind of sports solves that problem rather quickly though. Main languages spoken in the business school are besides English: German (lots!!!) and French. Sometimes majority in a class of foreign origin, which is not so good (specially when they are all from the same country) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English How much did you improve your English?
My level before: Basic phrases My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
At the beginning my English was bad and it was hard to meet people. But I improved my English and my communication very fast. However, I should have tried to meet more local people because I stayed mostly with the foreign students and sometimes I feel I havent improved that much my English This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
