I really improve my English. The academic English level that the courses required make me improve my writing and my verbal English skills. Classmates, friends and the people at the comunity were a great help. Every body were so friendly ... that is an important point when you are trying to communicate in a second language.

To study abroad is the best way to learn a language. You have to deal with the University, exams, instructors, other students, companies and employees, friends and so on. There's no better way to learn a language that fast.
