I already had a high knowledge of english before going to Australia but I gained knowledge in specialised business vocabulary and overall in my writing skills. The result is that english is not a foreign language for me anymore, I think in english and mainly could easily work in a english speaking environment!

I had no problems. La Trobe Uni offers a special service for international students where you can have your essays checked or get any other help regarding language problems you might have.

Valuable experience in an extremely cosmopolitan area, where different people spoke the same language but different ways

My English is definitely better now. In the beginning I had difficulties in understanding the Aussie slang, but at the end I coped pretty well and even copied some typical Aussie phrases

The experience was difficult at the beginning because there were different forms of english, but it was good because I had the possibility to improve my understanding skills
