What English skills did you acquire at uni? My English has always been quite good and I don't feel like formally studying English has helped me that much.

Perhaps I've just forgotten about how much I've actually learnt though.

A lot of people are not good at English, though. Especially public speaking.
Yes, definitely. That's why I'm curious about the specifics of what they learned rather than just "English".
My writing has been pretty decent since high school, but I did pick up some public speaking skills in college.

If you have great English/ Public speaking skills this isn't so important. But I know a lot of people have really mediocre communications skills.
