You are right, Missy! We learn many different languages here for 2 reasons: 1)Belgium is a very small country (size Maryland), so we are surrounded by other languages (German, French, English);
2) In the past, Belgium has been conquered many times, always a different language (Spain, France, Germany during the WW's, Netherlands, etc.... . Flemish schools are wellknown for their language courses.
Indra is only 16, and already she is learning her 4th language! at some schools, you can also take Spanish! I never minded, cause I LOVE foreign languages!!
