Personal comments
At the begging I passed some bad time, I couldn't understand almost anything, but then I have improved my English.
Now that I'm not speaking any more as before I'm losing what I have learned, it's a pity. That's why I need to have new experiences aboard.

Personal comments
In Birmingham the student houses are normal. The student area is a bit dirty and poor, but it's very closed to the Univeristy and the house are not so bad. . I lived in a student residence and the organization was nice and the place was brand new, so I have had a good experience.
