by Julia, Universität Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria
Business Studies, Erasmus
Language difficulties
Social
KEY:
No problems.
I coped pretty well.
Sometimes it was difficult.
It was a constant struggle.
Educational
Administrative / Institutional
Overall
Language of instruction: English
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:
There was a big mix of students in Manchester - from all over the UK. You get used to a lot of slangs. It is important to stay a way from people who speek your own language because you easily find yourself speakting (in my case) German. Get yourself involved in a sport team or another social team where there are hardly any internationals - that is important!!
