It was easy to study and to all the projects because we had a small english class, but for students (like me) who would have liked to study some dutch that was impossible. There were no courses available

I was in a country where almost everybody could speak English, so I didn't need to learn the local language. There was opportunity to learn it, but for a quite high price.
