I am especially glad of my English skills improvement. The stay here was a good opportunity for me to gain new business vocabulary and to become more fluent and confident when using it. the other hand the stay here was a good occasion to learn something new for example to start learning French which I am going to continue back in Poland.

It was not a problem, because Brussels is a international city, many of the foreigners know English, in the public places its impossible to communicate in Engilsh, that's a real crap!

Belgium is speaking 2 different languages and it´s a little bit hard to learn a language. Because sometimes you meet a person who speaks only French but no English.

Although my English was rather good before going to Brussels, i noticed improvements on it, as it was the language used by international students and our courses were in English. Although the language of the host university was Flemish, most of us preferred to follow french lessons.
