Why would anyone from an english speaking country be more intellectual or more clever than from other countries - there are primitive or stupid folks in every country lol
Here in belgium without at least speaking the 2 national languages french and dutch + english (plus any other EU language more is a plus) there is no way to get an office job here.
I was accountant at siemens europe here and had to have 4.... When i worked at lufhansa financial direction in paris many years ago i had to speak perfectly french german and english - they are 27 languages in the EU - tho sure first of all you have to learn the or the languages here - here in belgium are 3 official ones...
French, dutch and german - and tho there is no favoritism between communities all internal notes like all softwares are in english lol
If you call a french belgian he will never accept that you speak with him in dutch or english - and a firm will never employ an accountant or what ever office position if he not speak at least french dutch and english....
