Well, comparing with other languages, Dutch is a really difficult language specially for people of south Europe. Maintly because we are not very used to pronounce different sounds. But despite of this, the atmosphere in the city help us a lot to feel as part of all the community. All the people where ready to help us in different situations even out of the city. Citizens are always ready to give a hand.

It was very easy to communicate in Antwerp, even with the people on the streets, because most of them speak English very well. The classes at the University were in English, so also no problems. Besides, there was a three-week Dutch Course at the beggining so we were able to learn the basics of the local language also.
