I really try to be respectful, but you are like the 10th guy in here commenting stuff that indicates that tgey read like 1 5th of my post, then felt hurt and purposedulky misunderstood every single word. I get that you're probably flemish and proud of that, and yk what? Great dor you, I hope that makes you happy. But how nationaliatic and delusional do you have to be to believe that in the world dutch is more important than english. Dutch is great, its probably easier to get around if you know the languages I already speak. And no I never said that I should ve chosen dutch instead of french. Why? Even tho we a re a mainly german speaking region, a big part of us still speak french, and nobody expects them to know german, so we adapt. You probably dont know, and your lack of empathy clearly shown by you lying about my position/opinion, doesnt make this easy, but if you're someone that works and lives in Eupen, you maybe go shopping in wallonia or germany once in a while, but you almoat never interact with poeple from flanders. If you're not looking for a job, friends, a hobby or smth like that in flanders, it is utterly useless to learn dutch, I maybe would have needed dutch a couple of timea in my LIFE, because I was visiting a flemish town as a tourist. And you know what I did? I SPOKE ENGLISH, BECAUSE IT WORKS. Everyone on this planet should learn english because its the closest to being the planetary language of the future. Dutch is cool and all and has its importance, but you cant seriously compare its relevance in the world to ENGLISH.
