I have a huge question: why don't you all post in Dutch or French but in English?

Because some of us don’t understand Dutch (like me) and some other ones don’t understand French. But of course anybody is allowed to post in Dutch or French 😊


Interesting stuff. Love it!

Btw your project looks nice, I'll see you around in B3 with my Spanish team in a couple of seasons. Keep it up!

Just FYI, Belgium has 3 national languages french, dutch and german) ! And in fact it is quite rare to see a belgian being fluent in all 3 of them. I e.g. am fluent in french and german but not dutch.

So in the end we all speak / write in english, which makes it a fourth language :p

That's pretty funny!

I'm aware of the fact that there are 3 official languages, and that's why I was surprised that you did not use any of them in the forums! I did not mention German as it's only spoken in a small part of the East.

I've been in Gent a couple of times for work (and one in Brussels for love, or something similar ) and I did not see that, perhaps because people of the same region (or friends) might be used to using one of the official languages, while here in BB, I guess there are people from all over the country. Interesting phenomenon!!

Here in Barcelona it's also pretty funny to constantly change from Catalan to Spanish in conversations involving multiple people, some of those speaking Spanish and others speaking Catalan. But yeah, the fact that everyone speaks and understands Spanish (unlike Catalan) makes it possible that we don't have to use English

Our 3 official languages are Dutch, French, German.

In our country, Dutch is spoken by about 7 million people, French by about 5 million people, and German by a small minority.
But, since not everyone talks Dutch or French, we choose to speak English in BB forum as this is the universal world language that most of us understand
Our country is sometimes difficult to understand
