Course recommendations
Better take courses you are interested in and not the one you might think are easy. They can all be quite demanding especially when you are not interested in the subject.

Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
How much did you improve your English?

Personal comments
I did not need the local language as local people (especially young ones) are quite fluent in English. Thus I experienced hardly any problems.
