International University in Germany (IU)

Before the exchange program I was ok with both languages - English and German. But afterwards my Enlgish improved very much, and also my German improved. It was a little bit funny, that although I was living for 4 months in Germany, I spoke a great deal more English than German. The reason for this was, that at the university most students were international students, so they spoke hardly any German - so the common language was after all English.

I chose this university because of its instruction in English, but i did not improve my German language skills, which i regret a little bit. But i did increase my academical vocabulary in English and had no problems communicating outside the university (shops, caffes and etc.).

I think the priorities are not as clear as should be, Speak german is BASIC if you would like to leve here.

My experience is enough for language and communication

some problems with german, but on campus everybody speaks english

Everyone I meet new English
