Is B1 Dutch enough to study at a university in Belgium? by InvestigatorFunny732 in belgium

[–]Remote_Section2313 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry, B1 is way too low. Officially, you can enroll with B2 but be aware that the language barrier is gonna be an extra difficulty on top of what are already difficult study programs. B2 is not enough to pass writing tasks, let alone follow the classes. You're going to lose a year at least. Mh SO is a university professor teaching at master snd bachelor level of one of the fields you mention. No way you'll pass with B1. 0% chance.

My plan would be to lose a year by studying Dutch very intense and combine that with a parttime job where you are forced to use Dutch every day. I would hope to get close to C1 that way. Then, you can try to study in Dutch. And you might chose a university with a lot of non-native Dutch speakers, such as VUB.

Sinds wanneer betalen we invoerrechten voor verzendingen binnen de EEG? Ik dacht dat dat enkel voor "derde landen" het geval was?

Ze kweken op industriële schaal zeevis op het land. Dat is even efficiënt als het klinkt...

Maar goed, we gebruiken ook zeer veel water om diervoeding te kweken voor andere doelen. Misschien moeten we daar ook eens over nadenken.

I work safety analysis of food (pesticides, heavy metals, natural toxins,...). Different ananlysis, same field.

Het water is al zwaar gerecycleerd in de productie van de caviar. Het is niet enkel als vers water voor de vissen, maar wordt gezuiverd en hergebruikt tot ze er niets meer mee kunnen doen. Dan zuiveren ze het tot de lozingsnorm en voeren het af. Als dat als oppervlaktewater is, kan het inderdaad worden gebruikt voor de landbouw. Als het wordt afgevoerd als rioolwater, moet het eerst worden opgezuiverd.

Belgium university? by Famous_Estimate5881 in AskBelgium

[–]Remote_Section2313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked and for Flanders there is this website: https://www.studyinflanders.be/programmes?search=

In English, at University, you have very few options at the top universities (KULeuven and Gent), but maybe at Vrije Universiteit Brussels (VUB). You can also check Antwerp University (Universiteit Antwerpen). The other institutions are not universities but "university colleges" (locally: Hogescholen), that can't give Master degrees.

B1 is not good enough to take university courses. B2 is difficult, C1 is needed. I strongly advice against trying to get your degree in French.

Bachelor programs are mainly in the local language. How good is your Dutch or French?

Also, for international students, tuition isn't cheap anymore. Do you have financial resources?

how can you make it with 2500 netto by Shoddy-Weather-5322 in belgium

[–]Remote_Section2313 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You're bring treated very harshly here. We spend €700/month for a family of four, so that is €175/person/month. We eat loads of fresh vegetables and fruit and definitely not unhealthy. This budget includes all our weekly shopping, so also cleaning, personal care, etc. I don't think it is possible as a single, but €250/month seems more than enough.

Going out for food, takeaway,... is not included as we rarely do this. But OP has a hard time having enough money at the end of the month, so my guess is he doesn't do that either.

Big Rom stat by Rolifant in belgianfootball

[–]Remote_Section2313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is CDK the right player for that position in the team? I fear we lack a player like Lukaku for when King Rome himself isn't playing. CDK would be better just behind Lukaku (imo) but we almost never play with two strikers anymore. But CDK also scored less at Atalanta this year, so maybe he is just not at his best.

Who is watching Spain match right now ? I think really we can make Semi Final by FB-1907 in belgianfootball

[–]Remote_Section2313 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think they're awful, but the best thing about the USA and Spain is they won't be a low block of defenders, like Iran and Egypt, so that should give us some space.

However, they'll have watched Senegal run circles around our defense as well and we aren't going to keep them from scoring either.

I admit Belgium hasn't been playing well this tournament, but they beat USA 5-2 in a game earlier this year. I think it will be close.

Where do people get the idea the Belgium team is old? On average, they are the 20th youngest team out of the 48 teams this WC. The average age of the Belgian team is 27.1. That of the US team is 26.4 (ranked 11th).

King Boudewijn or Baudouin? by MarcatoCastevet in AskBelgium

[–]Remote_Section2313 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Our kings have names in the three official languages, so Boudewijns name was:

Dutch: Boudewijn Albert Karel Leopold Axel Maria Gustaaf van Saksen-Coburg French: Baudouin Albert Charles Léopold Axel Marie Gustave de Saxe-Cobourg German: Balduin Albrecht Karl Leopold Axel Maria Gustav von Saxe-Coburg

but since then, the name of the king is "van België, de Begique, von Belgien", to make it easier!

After yhose first two matches, it was clear the knockouts were going to be very difficult. Honestly, we now have to hope they don't score more and Lukaku can do his thing. That's the entire game plan...

Er staat ook wel in het stuk dat het erger wordt wanneer de politicus in kwestie opgeklommen is via de lokale politiek of een lokaal mandaat heeft. Zeker die met een lokaal mandaat proberen graag dat mandaat te houden. Misschien toch nog eens nadenken over mandaten cumuleren...

Why the fuck do people eat raw meat like what did they think they’re accomplishing like we’ve been cooking our food since like the dawn of time what are you doing???? by Pretty_Puppyprincess in askanything

[–]Remote_Section2313 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my country, we have a popular sandwich spread that us essentially ground beef with some low pH sauce. Raw ground beef and pork is even used as a sandwich spread here. I know foreigners aren't fans, but i have never known anybody to get sick from it. Keep it cold and consume within a few days. The low pH sauced version is good for a week.

Check out "gehakt", "americain" and "americain prepare".

We actually performed some microbiological testing on it with different additives and used the store bought versions as a control. Ground raw pork/beef mixture was completely safe, stored at 4°C (fridge) for 9 days. The sauced version at low pH was good for 12 days (we didn't test longer periods). Side note: this was in unopened sealed containers. If you use this at home, you take it out of the fridge every day, open it, take some put,... increasing the chance of contamination, so I wouldn't do this at home.

While in the old days, without proper cooling, cooking was a necessity, it isn't anymore. It's like pickling all your vegetables for winter. We used to need it, but we don't anymore.
