The best cafe is "Standard" where you can find students of the different countries in the wold.
There are lots of events to go in Würzburg that you can enjoy, but I think the best is the "Weinfest".

At the beginning of my stay was a bit difficult to understand the chemistry terminology but my boss was very kind with me and I was able to learn them quickly.
It is a good idea to have german courses for forein people because you can communicate better with people from your host country.

Academic
Course recommendations
I did a practical Erasmus and I had not to study subjects. My work consisted of a research work in the laboratory. On the other hand, I had the opportunity to study German free. If you are student, you can study free the whole languages at Sprachzentrum.
