I have studied English for a long time, but I was not fluent because of the big differences between my mother tongue and English. However, I am improving now and I am trying to learn more. Hopefully, my skill would be improved.

It was a great opportunity to improve my language skills and to check my communication abilities in life. Living and studying with other international students gave me possibility to practise English, German and Swedish.
