Parlez Vous Ma Langue?
People generally assume that when you’re from Belgium, you are French-speaking. While a big part of the country is Francophone, the majority population is Flemish (Dutch-speaking).
I blame this on mostly 3 factors:
- People mainly visiting Brussels (which is bilingual, but has a Francophone majority)
- Americans mostly having been stationed in the French speaking part in WWII
- Hercule Poirot
