sometimes, it is a bit of hard to improve foreign language for a Chinese when he/she is in China. Thanks to the stuyding experience abroad, I have improved my English quickly and greatly. and also, I have good opportuties to learn another freign language as well.

At the begining english was the way to stay a live, I didn't have much difficulty to find people who could understand or speak. As the months passed by I learnt the local language then life became easier.

Course included 30 hrs of French classes, which is nothing if you're starting from scratch. I picked up key phrases, but most (if not all) of my contact was with people who spoke English.
