it was great as I only spoke German everyday and it improved so much, I began to get way more confident speaking it. Of course my grammar wasn't always perfect but I was still confident.

Expenses
Main source of funding:
Family
Other sources of funding:
An ERASMUS grant
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
Food was great because it was slightly cheaper than Ireland but to eat out was sometimes expensive enough, my telephone did cost a fortune because I was trying my best to stay in touch with friends from home. I also did quite a bit of travelling around Germany so that was quite pricy and also the cost of flights to Ireland at Christmas and holidays.
