At the beginning it was hard for me to understand the french people because they speak very quickly. However, I got used to it and at the end I was able to understand them in most situations.

For university purposes it was fairly easy to cope with the language. Though, it was sometimes a barrier in social life, mainly because of the slang among students.

I took lessons not only at the university but I also participated in a free course organized by the local municipal institute accelerating this way the "adaptation period" of the local culture.
