Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
Personal comments:
Studying in Australia gave me more opportunities to learn other languages such as German and French.In Malaysia,we are able to speak multilanguage such as Chinese, Malay , Hokkien,Cantonese, Hock Chew,English and etc.Overall, i find it very advantageous to me cause i'm able to communicate with people who does speak using one of the languages mentioned.By learning other languages it means that i do appreciate other peoples' culture and will ease my communication skills with others.
