In the beginning I had some trouble communicating in the local language. Thanks to my roommates, who were for the most part Germans at the time, my German improved day to day. That is to say, my informal German. The institutional and academic languages are somewhat more complicated, but by and by that also became easier.

My overall experience was great. I learned so much and gained the confidence to approach any situation. I learned most from associating with friends and colleagues at the university. I passed the German DSH certification examination during my stay with an abover average result. Hannover is an ideal place to learn German because beautiful Hochdeutsch is spoken there.

Is very easy to communicate in english with almost every people. But if you do some german courses it will be relatively easy to learn.

All classes are taught in German, if your language skills aren't up to scratch you might certainly have trouble following the lectures on this particular course.
