Personal comments
By everyday communication with the international students and teachers I improved my spoken English, now I am able to express myself fluently also on the business (field of my studies) topics. I like the country and the local people so my stay in Finland encouraged me to start studyinf Finnish - Ive been already attending classes of Finnish language for two semesters.

Course recommendations
Interesting courses, actual matters, local as well as international insights into the topics, not extra difficult so there was enought time for travelling and other free time activities but also challenging to study more on the topics
