Personal comments
In the lecture we only had possibility to listen but I was lucky to meet nice people to practise English after lecture and in the evenings. The good thing was that they were no native english speakers so in the first time we communicate with hand and foot. But after a while it was working quite well and everybody was improoving. Native speakers never would have had the pation to listen to a foreigner with bad language skills...
