More than I had expected I experienced language difficulties. I thought that I could communicate well in English and with my basic knowledge of Spanish, however the majority of persons I worked with talked in Spanish. Therefore I was reserved in communication at the beginning, but in the course of months it went better. My stay has contributed to my communication skills, but I would like to pay more attention to it in the future. I can come across as reserved and uncertain. To contribute more to projects and to progress faster, I want to learn to make a more confident impression and to express my ideas and opinions more certain.
