The office is all English speaking... it's the one common language among all the different nationalities represented there... I've meet a Greek, an Italian, a number of Englishmen and a few who I can't place exactly but are probably from somewhere in eastern Europe. I guess English is the most commonly taught language in Europe, so a lot of game companies use English as the dominate language in the office to accommodate the widest variety of candidates. I've met with them a few times and most of them speak very good English, even the ones from the UK.Rickarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730754739317666560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949517.post-38161661694313208292015-09-08T21:00:09.103-07:002015-09-08T21:00:09.103-07:00Congrats and Good luck!
