The local languafe of common people was not always easy to understand. In the university tachers were very nice and spoke properly in any situation.
Living abroad is absolutely necessary in order to learn the language and the culture.

Personal spending habits
food and general items in the shops are cheaper than in the uk, but because i was having such a good social life, i ended up spending a lot of money going out. i also used the phone a lot more than i would have done in england and i travelled a lot too which is obviously expensive but nevertheless cheaper than it would have been in england!
