The languages of instructions were English and German. German was more difficult at the beginning, but the examinations were oral, and I could pass them well. The subjects in English were passed without problems

Many people in the Administration speak perfect english but the will not use it, even when they are realizing that you have problems to express yourself. This can be a bit hard, especially at the beginning when you have so many administrative tasks to be done and fixed.
