It was interesting to learn the local language and the course was not very hard because it is very similar to German. But I wouldn't make the course if I had to decide again, because most of the people can speak English and Flemish isn't necessary.

As a native English speaker the only problem I found was to be careful not too use slang too often and really slow down my speech pace. My Scottish accent caused the most problems!

Most everyone in Belgium speaks English so we had it pretty easy. Actually wish I could have taken a language class, but my course load was already pretty heavy.

You mainly interact with other international students (don't even dream of sharing classes or other activities with local students)
