Language difficulties
Social
KEY:
No problems.
I coped pretty well.
Sometimes it was difficult.
It was a constant struggle.
Educational
Administrative / Institutional
Overall
Language of instruction: French
Was learning French a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
How much did you improve your French?
My level before: Basic phrases
My level after: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
In accademic situations, people were well disposed towards talking slowly or repeating things. In social life, external to accademic scene, sometimes it was difficult to grasp everything in the conversation. But with a smile and a kind way of excusing myself for not understanding made life quite easy.
