French people in general don't speak English very well, and as my level of French is limited it got quite complicated sometimes. The best way of learning a new language is living in the country, and at the end of my stay I felt that I was able to handle the French language pretty ok. Most of my professors at school were English or American, so I think that I also improved my level of English during the stay.
