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:
Sometimes i had troubles with writing an essay...but there is writing center where you can make an appointment and someone will go over your work and correct it. There are also different classes that you can take on your own time in order to improve your language skills. Sometimes i also had problems communicating with Canadians....at first it was much easier for me to hang out with international students...they were more open i guess and did not care if i made any mistakes while talking. But after a year i was comfortable among canadians as well. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

The only difficulty I experienced was participating in class but it's partly because we are not used to doing it in France. Overall, people were kind and I didn't have any communication problem in my everyday life. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

No problems.
I coped pretty well.
Sometimes it was difficult.
It was a constant struggle.
