If you want to learn a language, you have to be confronted with it all day and not only 1 or 2 hours a week. So, going abroad is the best way, to learn a language!

Personal comments
I lived at the Residence, where I had a room (about 8m2) of my own! I hade everything I needed inside (incl. a fridge!) and I had the chance to get to know "real" Canadians, what I enjoyed very much! Monthly costs about 320 CAN $ per month - so, much cheaper than an appartment (about 500 CAD $ p. m.) there!
