Everyone spoke very good English, which was a bit annoying because I wanted to learn some Dutch! Somethimes it was difficult understanding what exactly lecturers wanted as there descriptoins were sometimes ambiguous.

As it is a double degree that I'm enrolled in, English language is essential. You get new experience of how people are acting internationaly and that is going to be usefeul if working in international environment.

I studied in the Netherlands where most of the people speak english fluently. I didn´t find it necessary to start studying dutch as local seemed to be communicate in english almost as well as in their own native language. Anyway I learned some basics of dutch and in the future when I´m going back to study to the Netherlands I will be more willing to learn dutch also.
