Obviously being with other foreigners that don't speak your own language oblige you to improve your english (for me). Playing volley ball was for me a really good opportunity to improve this language. Indeed we are an international team: i play with irish, german people, and my coach is italian. And through the lectures, and team works, it is necessary to be able to express our ideas in english...so i would say that in general i really improved my level, as in oral communication and writtings

It was hard at the beging as i did my two first years in college and there was some specific language that i dodn´t know.After a month and with the help of the local people it was easier. I took courses in oral skills and cultural knowledge as well. Social life was very go for me in order to lear the slang and improve my oral skills.

Considering the fact that my level of English was already very high before going abroad (several courses and summers in english speaking countries, and a life time in an English school); what was more important from the abroad experience was to learn how to interact and communicate with different nationality people.

I have studied in an english school when I was young, so learning the language was not the main reason for going to Dublin. However, I have been able to become more fluent both writing and speaking. I wanted to study abroad in order to take advanage of my fluency in English.

I had attended the international school in Madrid for 10 years and carried out the International Baccalaureate which allowed me to have a very good level of english. How ever it took some time to get used to the irish accent and specially the slang.

I had a good knowledge of English before I went to Ireland, but having being around Irish people I learned some typical Irish expressions, but it was a shame that we did not get to mix a bit more with them.
