Personal comments:
My experience of communication in a country different to your home country did not seem to be such a problem. I was lucky to have met different people and made a lot of friends during my studies which enabled me to practice my English until it became a natural way of communication. I very much enjoyed to adapt to a different culture and to have profited from a very positive experience abroad.
