Personal comments:
The dutch language resulted from the begining really dificult for me because it is a germanic language and I understand better the latin languages. This is the reason why I spoke and communicate most of the time in english, although I learned basic things in a lot of languages...including greek!. Is very nice to know similarities and differences of your own language in comparison with other languages.

Personal comments:
Most of the people spoke English which was very good. Only older people didn't but I could interact with them in Dutch or they would try everything to make understandable. Also the University provided Dutch courses not compulsory for everyone interested in.
