Personal comments
As I commented in point 3, I had a good english basis before going abroad. Iīve studied english since I was young in a brittish school; at the beginning I had some problems to understand because of the accent. After solving this problem everything was easy. I even managed to learn slang as I said before.

Personal spending habits
I spent more in food because I live with my parents, but the price is similar. Housing is more expensive abroad. Overall life abroad is more expensive mainly because theres a lot of expenses you donīt realize until you live on your own. Mostly what I noticed more expensive was restaurants and some products to purchase
