New Mexico State University (NMSU)

At the beginning, i was not that familarized with the American Accent because i get used to the Hong Kong (UK) english and the Dutch English (Slower). So, at the beginning i was a bit nervious to talk. Later i have more friends, go out together, group meetings, presentation and study together, graduation i built up more confident and then it is no problem for me to communication in everyday life. I also learn spanish there, because the city (Las Cruces) is closed to Mexico, where there are many Mexican speak spanish. They always suprised that i speak a little bit spanish (as i learnt in Holland), so they are nice to me and i gradually like spanish very much!

Needing to deal with the english language daily, both in social and academic life, I picked up the language relatively fast. At the moment I am still attending courses in the Englisg language in my home country, which helps me stay on top of it every day.

One of my majors at my home university was tecnical translation, so it did not cause me huge problems to communicate in English. I think my pronunciation has improved a lot, and I progressed in academic writing as well.

language and comunication ok, organization pretty bad
