For the purpose of this discussion, what Benny achieved in 3 months probably doesn't
really factor in. He was immersed in Germany - a luxury you won't have at the
university. Also, take into account just how much of your time will be used studying
your core subjects, as well as engineering-specific courses.

don't assimil claim to get you to C1 in around 7 months? if you use both beginner then advanced courses? so i think getting to a advanced level within a language close to English within a year. once you learn one language doesn't learning a similar one become easier?

It does, but I have studied several languages, and the only one I can use in a work
environment is a language I grew up speaking as a child. And I have spent years on
French. Learning to speak a language and using it in a work environment are not the same
thing - the requirements are much stricter for an engineer.
