Although I was already used to study in English books and to take classes in English in my home university, this experience largely contributed to improve my English, because everyboby could speak English there and it was the language I used to communicate in my day-to-day life. The fact that I was living with only Belgium students also helped.

Most of the people spoke good english. At the university everyone speaked english fluently (professors and students). Outside, the academic environment, people normally spoke good or fluen english. I think the main reason for that was that it was a student's town and because Leuven is located in Flanders - dutch speakers.
