Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English
How much did you improve your English?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
My level after: At ease in most situations
Language difficulties

Find it difficult at first to understand local accent/slang. Make friends with local students to improve the language and avoid sticking around with friends from the same country as you won't get a chance to practice english.
