Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't. How much did you improve your English?
My level before: No problems in any areas (including slang) My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
Overall level of english is lower than in the Netherlands. At university I have not experienced any problems besides explaining myself more than once towards local students. Concerning local people in shops or restaurants: learn cantonees a.s.a.p. I have not experienced any problems in government institutions.

In the university I didnt face real prolems regarding the language, since I am ver fluent and used to English as my first language anyway. But it was often difficult to listen to the Chinese students during presentations or groupwork. the language knowledge of the teachers are good. In the social life it was no problem with speaking english- since i mainly was only with exchange students. The everyday life is difficult due to the language, as nobody in restaurants, taxis etc understands english. that is sometims really annoying.

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