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: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
My level after: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
It definitley improved over time, but I really would recommend that you make the most out of every opportunity you have to speak the language, push yourself, make yourself speak, or else you'll regret when the year ends.
