Personal comments
Appendre l'anglais était un de mes objectifs lorsque je suis arrivée en Floride. Je crois que j'ai réussi mais j'ai tout de même du chemin à faire en grammaire. Les cours complémentaire que je prends au Québec en anglais m'aide à perfectionner ce point. J'ai tout de même réussi durant tout mon séjour à m'améliorer et à me faire comprendre par tous, peu importe la situation.

My home university in Paris provide 50% of courses in English, so I had no problem in understanding teachers. It was more difficult with people my age since I was not at ease with slang at the beginning. After a couple of weeks, I was able to understand easily any kind of situations.

At the beginning, it was a little bit hard, specially during courses because the vocabulary is more specialised and people speack fast and interact eachother. But the oral comprehension improved very quickly and at the end of the semester, i saw a big improvement in the langage. Now, I am fluent in english!

Overall, interacting with local students throughout social activities (sports, associations, class projects, friends...) helped me the most in becoming fluent and in leraning the culture. I think socialing with local students is equally important to studying well in class.

I thought my Englsih was perfect, but I got a lot of comments on especially my writing skills. Also the strange accents and the really fast way of talking were a new experience in the beginning. But overall, I didn't experience many problems
