Kufstein is the best place to come if you speak good English and also a bit of German because you'll be able to practice them. But it's not a good place to learn English from the bases and to learn German neither, since here they speak a dialect which is hard to understand. But if you have a knowledge of both languages you won't have any kind of problems and you'll improve both.

The German language teacher was really bad. She only wrote words on the board. We did not learn to use those word. So if you want to learn German, you have to do it somewhere else than in a FH Kufstein class room

Almost all communications are in English, however sometimes you should know some German.
