Was learning German a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my German
How much did you improve your German?
My level before: At ease in most situations
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
As I came to Germany I was already speaking good German (1 year high school exchange programme), but after 2 semesters of studying and living in Germany I improved my German to a very fluent level. An Erasmus exchange year is also a multicultural experience as you also communicate with other students from Europe.
