Yes, I wanted to improve my English How much did you improve your English?
My level before: At ease in most situations My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
Even though I had a decent knowledge of English before comming to Australia, it has improved dramatically since I live in Sydney. The first weeks were obviously a bit hard because one needs time to ajust to the local accent, slang... At university it took also a couple of months to be completely comfortable with the fact that everything was in English. Indeed an international student has to cope with the difficulty of the class itself but also with language difficulties. Reading in a foreign language is something that takes a lot of time to improve because at first one has to read every single word to be able to have an understanding of the document but after a relatively long time one manages to improve and to quickly grab the main information out of a text to have a general understanding. I spent 2 years in Australia and I can really see an incredible improvement. Some people even ask me if I am local which is always a compliment.

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.

My English skills were alright, already before I left for Australia as I have been living in the UK for 6 months before. However, of course I could further improve my language skills. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

The problem in Australia in general is that so many foreigners study there, that one mainly speaks to foreigners. Concerning UTS, the Kuringai campus is better to get to know Australians This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

I coped pretty well.
Sometimes it was difficult.
It was a constant struggle.
