Universidade de Macau

language of instruction was english. same as in my home university, so it did not improve.

Try to learn Chineese in 5 months. Not possible. English is enough to get around.

In the university I didnt face real prolems regarding the language, since I am ver fluent and used to English as my first language anyway. But it was often difficult to listen to the Chinese students during presentations or groupwork. the language knowledge of the teachers are good. In the social life it was no problem with speaking english- since i mainly was only with exchange students. The everyday life is difficult due to the language, as nobody in restaurants, taxis etc understands english. that is sometims really annoying.

Communication with the locals causes most problems, because my knowledge of Cantonese is very basic. The communication within the university was flawless because the language used (English) is the same as in my home university

Most people at the university speak english so no problems there. But when you went to a supermarket, restaurant etc. communication with the local community was pretty hard.

The local population are not very good in english, but it is usually no problem to communicate with the students at the University.
