Was learning German a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my German How much did you improve your German?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
I participated in a 'tandem-partner' scheme, which comprised of pairing up with a native German speaker, who wanted to improve his/her English language skills. We met in social situations, and took it in turns to speak either German or English. This was a massive advantage, as the situation encouraged natural conversation, and was encouraging if you felt nervous or uncomfortable speaking another language.

No problems.
I coped pretty well.
Sometimes it was difficult.
It was a constant struggle.
