Personal comments
I think the experience was very positive to imporve my English but not I expected.
My English improved a lot bacause I was spoken English quite often, but there were a lot of people from Germany, Italy, France, Portugal and Spain.
However there were a lot of people from USA, England, Scotland, South Africa so I heart a lot of different types of English.
