Personal comments
Attaining pretty decent level of English during my studies in Poland and my summer jobs in America I found language spoken in England a little bit more difficult due to variety of accents and wide range of vocabulary used in every day's life. West Yorkshire accent typical for the region used to cause some difficulties for me at the very begining of my stay in Huddersfield.
