The "Case-method" really forces you to speak and contribute to the classes. That makes it easy to feel quite comfortable in the English language after a short period of time. Though, if any problems might occur, everyone was extremly helpful!

Your exchange is a one time experience and chance. Apart from the hopefully daily contact among the exchange community try to get to know local students. (At university and housemates of other exchanges)

mY ENGLISH SKILLS WERE ALREADY PRETTY WELL DEVELOPPED SINCE I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE FOR 3 YEARS IN THE USA. LANGUAGE WAS NOT A DETERMINING FACTOR IN THE CHOICE OF HOST UNIVERSITY.
