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: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
This is the most dissapointing area of the whole exchange expreiece. I believed that I will develop my language skills, however, I do not have many opportunities to speak German. There are too many people of my naionality living in my halls of residence and far too many natives. It is difficult to meet Germans and make friends with them while being an international student surrounded by people from my country and othe rinternational students who always prefer to speak English due to their poor knowledge of German language.
