Personal comments:
The understanding in the lecturs was ok at the beginning and I think I improved every week, same in written assignments. The communication with english students coming from the south was better than with people from the north. After few month I understood as far as possible the Yorkshire accent, but to be honest, I guess I will never know which bargain the cashiers at WHSmith wanted to offer me.

At first it was a little bit hard, because you dont understand so good the teacher, but it becoms better, so finally you dont have any problems to understand and to study. The first examns were hard, we had to revise the dictionary all the time, but then, you have practise, so things became easier.
