Personal comments
It wasn't difficult to communicate with the locals. Most people were very patient and friendly. I often had to explain myself 2-3 times, but people didn't mind the waiting. It was a great learning environment.

People at the accommodations office were very helpful and the students were also very friendly. The room had a bathroom and a kitchen...very private atmosphere; however, a great way to meet students.

it was great as I only spoke German everyday and it improved so much, I began to get way more confident speaking it. Of course my grammar wasn't always perfect but I was still confident.

Food was great because it was slightly cheaper than Ireland but to eat out was sometimes expensive enough, my telephone did cost a fortune because I was trying my best to stay in touch with friends from home. I also did quite a bit of travelling around Germany so that was quite pricy and also the cost of flights to Ireland at Christmas and holidays.

It is vital to save as much as you can before doing Erasmus as it was definitely my most expensive university year so far

My oral German has improved a lot, but the written side is still lagging behind. Tandem partners are a good idea and an easy way of making new friends.
