Overall
Language of instruction: Italian
Local language was: Different than language of instruction.
Was learning Italian a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
Was learning French a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my French
How much did you improve your French?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Personal comments:
The attendance to the courses is compulsory, therefore the erasmus students can improve very soon their listening skills, moreover all the erasmus students have to attend a language course of french according to their entry level. The small size of the classes helps the Erasmus students to interact with the local students.
