How much did you improve your French?
My level before: At ease in most situations
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
I chose two language courses in French. One course thaught by the head of the institute of French was excellent. It was the most and maybe the only completely satisfying course I attended in Paris. Through this education I was able to improve my French skills sharply. The communication with other students was rather easy and it was fun. In fact, the improvement of language was the only positive aspect in relation to academic education at DAUPHINE.

I actually took all of my courses in English because I wanted to try and use my knowledge of the French language that I had from school and university. I can say that my comprehension of the language has improved, but my speaking not so much but that is really down to the individual to make a conscious effort to talk to the locals.
