I was quite lucky as I met a german boyfriend so my german increased considerably. It's so easy to speak english all the time but I think it's such a good opportunity to improve your language.

I learned to speak German very well, although writing is rather hard for me. There was an opportunity to have a 'tandem' partner. Your pertner is a person who wants to learn a language from youand you learn from your partner trough talking to each other.
