I've been living abroad since I was a teenager so English is not my problem. I spent 3 years in London.
I have something clear on my mind, languages are so important for all kind of jobs!!! So after reading that news about new job opportunities in Germany i decided to refresh my german knowledge again, which I learnt when I was living in Berlin for 6 months thanks to Leonardo Da Vincin's internship.
At my class, my schoolmates don't know to speak in English, so that's a very big problem for them, because nowadays, the companies need people who have a high English level (or they would like to, at least).
