What amazes me most about Belgium is that it’s normal to know three languages. Everyone I interact with in the office is fluent in English, French, and Dutch, and I suspect they understand and can somewhat speak German as well. I haven’t met a single Belgian who couldn’t understand me in English and respond appropriately. Yes, sometimes there are those who don’t know it well enough, but for the most part, the educated people here effortlessly chatter in three languages.

Very cool.
