Most courses for exchange students were available in English. Professors and university itself quite flexible- there was a n opportunity to take part in classes carried out in other languages, too.

I was in a flemish university and so I knew that I should had learn and study in English. The result was good, because other than English, I learnt even Spanish, and some basic phrases of French.

Most often I used english, as it was the instruction language! I also followed a french course, to refresh my skills in french, but in fact you don't necessarily need french in everyday life.
