Personal comments
The most difficult was to understand everyday conversations among natives and at the beginning to understand specific business vocabulary in class. It was also pretty difficult to speak fluently at the begining, when I had limited vocabulary to speak. It is use ful to speak with native people and to listent to the radio and wastch TV there, to catch and learn new words.
