Personal comments
I was talking to a friend the other day here, and he asked me my opinion, how well have I improved my language skills. I remembered the first day in France, I went to buy a ticket for the metro, I was SOOO nervous, I thought I just couldn't get a word out of my mouth. And now a few months after, I was there, talking away to this french fella about life and about everything, not having to think beforehand the words that I want to say and how. So I am personally very happy about the progress that I have made.

Course recommendations
I wish we would have been encouraged more towards individual thinking and using brain. Also almost all the lectures and tutorials were just a big dictate, and I didn't like that.
