i was studying in germany last year through uni. I did have a good knowledge of german before i went but improve vastly by the time i came back. I even met an american that just went over to study the language from scratch he would have done better if he didn't meet so many other year abroad students who all talk english and get drunk. However he did learn alot about the culture and had some basic german skills when he left. (Ein Bier bitte)
