Personal comments
The language of communication was definetely English. We had to use it every day, every single moment and this helped me a lot in expressing myself in a new environment. The international students and the teachers were approachable any time and this gave us a perfect opportunity of discussing anything we might be curious about.

OverallTeaching week 3 and i cant get an answer regarding my module choices.
1. Emailed Fees Dept - No reply.
2. Emailed Exams Dept - They replied by resending the original email which was the reason for my question to begin with
3. Emailed Head of Dept - No reply.
4. Called the Student Union - "we are finishing a meeting will call back in 10" never heard from them again.
5. Called Fees Dept "Contact Engineering Dept, they can assist you"
6. Called Engineering Dept - "We already sent you the information i will send again" - They didnt send it the first time, still waiting for it to be "resent"
Its like a bad joke..

I had a little bit a problem with irish dilects but in general my knowlage of english was good. I have learned a new technical vocabulary which was my aim. I had no problem to comunicate with other people. During my project presentation at the University i was perfectly understood by teachers.
