Overall
Language of instruction: Italian
Was learning Italian a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Italian
How much did you improve your Italian?
My level before: Basic phrases
My level after: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
In the begining, I couldn't communicate on the phone in order to find an accomodation..I had a language course before the beginning of the semester, so I learnt some phrases so as to communicate in the daily life but I still had problems understanding the professors. As time was passing, I learnt to communicate in italian pretty well and I also learnt local slang language. When I was about to leave, I had almost none problem communicating with the local people.
