bluemoose3 Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hello everyone,I'm an English-speaking American who has recently moved to Brussels, Belgium. Being in such a diverse and multicultural location, with friends from all over the world, has made me realize how important speaking other languages really is. Belgium is technically tri-lingual (French, Dutch, and German), but I'm going to start with only two languages and see where it takes me. I have more Dutch than French at the moment, since I started with Rosetta stone a few months ago, but I'm trying to be able to get around in both languages.Anyway, nice to meet everyone! Good luck!

Hedonologist Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Hi there, by the French/Flemish title I assumed you were connected in some way to Belgium. Do you find yourself using Dutch or French more? I know Brussels city itself is mostly french, but the surrounding locations are Dutch speaking. Anyway, Welkom bij Linguaholic.

leafy Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Do you think you're making good progress with Rosetta Stone? I just started a few days ago (also Dutch) and I am a bit skeptical about the whole approach. Anyway, welcome to the forum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ella Posted February 24, 2014 Report Share Posted February 24, 2014 Welcome bluemoose!I'm a (Dutch speaking) Belgian native living in the UK. How are you finding Belgium and life in Brussels?It's always difficult to use Dutch in Brussels as most people speak French there.If you need any Dutch related advice, I'm happy to help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
