Personal comments
At the beggining it was very difficult to follow the instruction but my ability to do so improved very quickly. The projects were more difficult because it was hard to be the only one in the group who didn't speek Swedish as their mother tongue. Using English was there for essential sometimes but fortunately everyone spoke it.
