Languages
Language of instruction: French
Was learning French a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my French
How much did you improve your French?

My level after: At ease in most situations
Language difficulties

French is similar to Italian and I had no problem with it. It is nonetheless quite hard to speak as the locals, since most Erasmus life was between non-French people
