I felt that it was difficult to get a chance to practice the language because everyone spoke perfect English. However, when I got the chance to learn a few phrases, it did not seem to be terribly hard. My girlfriend is Dutch, so she has been able to help me increase my knowledge of the language.

I had not knowledge of the local language but it didn't represent any problem nor academically neither in social live, as almost all the people speak English fluently and they don't have any problem to speak you in this foreign language.

All people can speak English, so it's easy for me to study and live in Utrecht. But I think it's necessary to study some Dutch, that would be helpful to get some internship or job here.

Not much to say really, studying law in English pushes you to learn the very best of it. Mingling with Internationals pushes you to forget it while drinking :) All in all, I've learnt a lot and now can understand Aussies!!

I took a Dutch language course at the James Boswell Institute and enjoyed it thoroughly! Most people in the Netherlands speak English, but it nice to learn some of the local language.
