Since I am Dutch and I will live in Antwerp after my exam next year, I had to get used to the Flemish vocabulary and accent. It wasn't that hard though. They use funny words, hehe. Instead of coward they say: ''Janet'' It sounds quite fancy. And congratulations is ''Proficiat''. As a not so proud Dutchman, my vocabulary is slightly different. But not that much.

Heh it's easy, btw you don't really need to learn Flemish to understand it or to be understood by natives (if you're Dutch).

Well, it is not that I had to learn it. But it was something I had to get used to.
