Personal comments
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.
