At first I found it hard to get my point across in most situations, but after the one month intensive language course offered by the univeristy, I felt I was able to communicate clearly and convey what I wanted to say.

Personal comments
in my experience, the way post-graduate courses are organised in giessen does not put sufficient emphasis on the two-way communication between students and professors. therefore, the courses tend to be quite boring. typically, a student makes a presentation, and he/she and the professor then discuss the topic of his/her presentation, but the other student hardly participate at all.
