Dutch 1

Description

In Belgium  the Flemish community (Dutch speaking!) is the larger one compared to the French speaking community. Furthermore, it has to be pointed out here that Dutch  - it's in the name - is the Dutch people's language, i.e. the language of  the inhabitants of the Netherlands. So by learning Dutch foreign candidate-economists not only acquire a tool for socializing and deepening their understanding of Flemish and Belgian culture but they also enhance their opportunities on the European job and business market considerably.
