At the beginning we had an intesnive french course for 2 month which was good to start with. All the courses I took were in french so I practiced a lot at school. With the other students i spoke english and german in the first semester, but then, when I got to know more french, spanish and italians, I nearly spoke only french. So the second semester I really improved a lot in french and fluently speak it now.

I learned loads of french but i'm still not 'bilingue', that's because of the Erasmus program. Other students don't speak a word of french, so you adapt to them and speak English. I have to admit, my english improved more than my french

I spent my time mostly with foreign students and this was a sort of problem beacause I did not speak too much in french but mostly in english. However attending the courses in french allowed me to improve my french level.

I spoke French already, as I studied it for 5 years at the High School. I didn't have any problems in improuving it quite easly mostly because I got the chance to be part of a nice french group.

Most french people speak nothing but french so you got to speak french when speaking to them. This was good though because it forced me to speak and listen to french being spoken a lot.

Studying in a foreign language and living abroad is the best way to increase your confidence speaking a foreign language and become noticeably more fluent.
