My level before: Did not speak it My level after: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) Personal comments:
That was a really good experience for improving my knowledges in English in general. The work language was English, I wrote my essay in English, had my evalation with both Danish and French teachers half in French and half in English, all theses elements resulted allowed me to improve dramatically my English. I am somehow a bit disappointed by the fact that I did not really learn Danish. The fact that the majority of the population is bilingual and speak easily English doesn't help to learn the local language. That is my regret about my language experience which overall is more than positive. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

I coped pretty well.
Sometimes it was difficult.
It was a constant struggle.
