Languages
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
How much did you improve your English?
My level before: At ease in most situations
My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang)
Language difficulties
Administrative / Institutional
Personal comments
English is not the mother tongue here but every inhabitant can speak english...so it is easy to understand and make ourselves understood! The teachers do not always speak very good so the improvement could have been better for us...but we couldn't expect more, otherwise we had to go to England or America!!!
