Personal comments
I live with a British family. Therefore I have to communicate with them every day. Besides, I work as a volunteer for a local nursery school and all staff and children are local people, so I have to speak to them in English. As well in the university, I have to speak in English with my tutor and international students.

Although I found it quite hard in the beginning, it was also very encouraging. The easier it gets to communicate with others the more enthuastic you are about learning the local language.

I had already spent a year in Australia before my studies so I was pretty alright. Studying in English improved my language abilities a great deal still.
