Language difficulties
Language of instruction: German
Was learning German a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my German How much did you improve your German?
My level before: At ease in most situations My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
I was quite lucky as I met a german boyfriend so my german increased considerably. It's so easy to speak english all the time but I think it's such a good opportunity to improve your language. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
