Personal comments
It was hard at the beginning. I thought that my level of English is quite good when I studied at my home University. However, when I went to the UK I realised that there is still a lot of work to do. Firstly, you have to get used to the local accent. Secondly, speaking English every day puts pressure to broaden your vocabulary. (I guess, I learnt about 2000 new words in the first 12 weeks, but it calms down after few weeks.)
