Personal comments
Before coming to England to study, I had a very good grasp of the English language due to my several language training holidays.
Now i think that i have significantly improve my english due to my interaction with my roomates, teachers, the others students in different acitivities and societies (rowing, salsa...)
It's a really good experience to go studying in England in order to learn and improve knowledge of the language and culture
