Dutch in Brussels

Guest   Sat Jan 05, 2008 6:37 pm GMT
Hi, I'm a student of French and I'm planning to study in Brussels for some time. Will my lack of knowledge of Dutch pose a problem in the capital? I actually like the language, but I don't have the time to study it. :((

Dutch in Brussels is just like English in Montreal...It can be useful.

All depends which university you'll be attending ...

Non.

A lack of French would not post a problem in Brussels either. As the capital of the E.U, most people speak decent English. Furthermore, I don't recommend Brussels for French studies. There is a very large immigrant and international population in Brussels. You will encounter many people who are not francophones.

Post should have read as pose, sorry.
