Practice with native speakers seems like the best and cheapest way to learn a language. For that purpose, i've joined the organization AIESEC. But you know, when you are not so sure about your language skills, you avoid using them for everyday hard work. So I wasn't brave enough, and postponed participating in exchange groups (??) and in my first project. The first six months was about other "soft" skills. But then I said to myself, "Stop. You are here for new languges and cultures, and you will not feel real soul of AIESEC as long as you are not working on an international project".
And from this decision started my really meaningful experience -- maybe not only language experience, but also in social relations, leadership, cross-cultural relations, and so on...
I wasn't sure what you meant by "exchanging departments," but perhaps you wanted to say "exchange groups."

I only have time to check the first paragraph now. When I have some more time, I'll try to check some more.
Last Year's Language Challenges, and How They Changed Me. Part 1.
It's not such a strange story for Russians to study English for 10 years and still not know it, partly because of the pedagogical methods of language education. So it is only when you receive strong motivation and start to learn a language outside the school walls that you can speed up and achieve some useful skills and success. At my age of 21, just after graduating from an institute, I was able to read about something other than the economy without a glossary, read and write something about finance with less problems than before, but had real problems with oral skills. ?? I am not sure I fully understood what you wanted to say in the last sentence, but I did my best.
