Language: The rate at which you learn depends on the individual and also previous experience. I know two people who have done/are doing rotary exchange. One had done Japanese in highschool and it seems they learnt faster than the other one who had to start from scratch.
Schooling: They both didn't have much to do at school and most things were too difficult for them to understand. If you do rotary you will go to a language school a few times a week where they will help you one-on-one and in conversation classes.
Lifestyle: One of my friends didn't like the way rotary had so much control over their life. They can change your family and only give you a few days notice or make you cancel your plans if there's something they want you to attend. The other one hasn't had any complaints like this though.

Thank you. I hope I have a good experience. What is a rotary?
