      Study a foreign language in a foreign country

      I’m Swiss and I’m strongly thinking about studying at an University in the UK (btw first choice’s be Sussex)
      As I'd like to study either Development Studies with French or International Relations and French, my question is:

      Has anyone experiences in studying a language (not your mother language!) in a country witch doesn’t speak your mother language either?

      my example: I speak GERMAN, would like to study FRENCH in the UK (ENGLISH)

      I am pretty good at languages, my English is sufficient, I’m doing the advanced certificate at the moment.. But still I imagine it could be difficult... any thoughts?

      It could be possible to learn a good French in the UK because you are going to a University. My question is; If you are Swiss, do you think it seems much better to learn in your own French speaking country? You will be involved with the culture and with all things related with the language; you will meet people that their first language is French. If you you go to the UK you will get involved with people who speaks English and I think is better to study that field in your own country.

      I  hope I gave you a good advice :)
