The local language was a bit of a challange that would be won. The course is to be delivered in english but a lot of the hand outs were in the local language(german). This motivated you to learn the language faster.

i hadn't spoken almost any german in the school, so it was hard in the beginning. But every day it got better, very useful was a 6-week Erasmus language course in Sept./Oct.

Never felt the difference but most times felt the need to learn to make life more happy and enjoyable, as communication is all what another human expects
