Although I was in the Netherlands and my mother tongue is Dutch, I almost never spoke it because most of my time I spent with the international students.

The local language is my native language, so that wasn't a problem. The instruction language is English, I had no difficulties with it at all.

To be completely honest, I learnt more dutch outside in social settings rather than at the university. I was supposed to learn dutch language as part of my course but they were unable to find a teacher.
