Adapt to the lifestyle<\/strong><br \/>Familiarise yourself with the city where you live, public transport, banks and administrative<br \/>procedures. Keep an open and flexible mind, accepting differences and learning to solve<br \/>everyday problems with patience.<\/p><p><strong>5. Combine study and practice<\/strong><br \/>Although studying at home helps, practice guided by professionals accelerates your<br \/>progress.
