Language of instruction: German
Was learning German a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
How much did you improve your German?
My level before: Did not speak it
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
When I arrived in Munich I had problems telling the taxi-driver where to take me. This did not last long though - the rest of the international students did not speak English and so German became our lingua franca. My studying linguistics also helped immensly in that I was able to see the similarities between German and English very quickly. By the end of the year I was able to read Die Welt without a dictionary. I found the Germans very helpful and patient in dealing with students who did not have a good understanding of German.

it was great as I only spoke German everyday and it improved so much, I began to get way more confident speaking it. Of course my grammar wasn't always perfect but I was still confident.

Personal comments:
It wasn't difficult to communicate with the locals. Most people were very patient and friendly. I often had to explain myself 2-3 times, but people didn't mind the waiting. It was a great learning environment.

My oral German has improved a lot, but the written side is still lagging behind. Tandem partners are a good idea and an easy way of making new friends.
