Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English 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:
I didn't really improve my English in Belfast, but I'm a lot better at Irish now :) I didn't really like the Belfast accent at first, but now that I've picked it up, I think it's really cool ;) Also I've become a lot quicker in responding, I'm better at understanding slang and most of all: I have learned several sentences to keep a class under control in English ("when you don't shut up, I'll hang you out of the window head first/ you'll end up in the dustbin" etc.) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

It was not easy in the beginning because of the strong accent they have in Belfast. So I needed a few weeks to find out about that. But after that it was no problem any more and I think I improved my English a lot. I had no major problems with communicating with the local students or other foreign students.

I don't think i learned a lot new words, but i'm not afraid aznymore to talk a different language than my own, and it was nice to learn new ways to express yourself. Everybody said my english was ok and they were patient and helpfull if I didn't know a word or made a mistake. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

It improved very well. In the beginning it's rather hard to understand the accent, but it'll be better after a few weeks, especially after a period of teaching practice. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

If you are not a student of Engelsh at your home university, you might find the Irish accent quite difficult, but you'll be ok after a short while. 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.
