Yes, I wanted to improve my English
How much did you improve your English?

Personal comments:
I have studied English (combined with international studies) so English as a language of instruction was not really new to me. I did not really experience any difficulties at any point, but my stay in the US did of course further improve my skills in speech as well as in writing.
