Manchester City sold the 18-year-old to the Bundesliga leaders for £8 million in 2017 and he has since proven to be a bargain, picking up his first England cap under Gareth Southgate.
Sancho is keen to stick it out with Dortmund due to the playing opportunities and admits he is trying to improve his German.
Sancho said: “I will (stay). I just want to play football and I’m getting that opportunity here. I’m happy right now.
“(The language barrier) worried me quite a lot, but when I came and everyone started speaking English I got more comfortable,” Sancho admitted. “My German isn’t the best but I’m learning, I have to learn.
“I’ve adapted really well. Obviously when I first came it was a bit difficult because I’m not around the corner from my house. But my family have helped me with that – and the club also.
“Going abroad wasn’t really a big deal. Since I was young I’ve always been away from home so I was comfortable. I thought ‘why not Germany?’ and look what’s happened now.
“There were some people that said they weren’t really sure because it’s a big step moving away from home and everyone that I’m close to but I think it’s worked out really well.”
