‘Doing business in Belgium is not like doing business in France. That’s because Belgium has another culture and history. One advantage is that Belgians are used to interacting in different languages. They’re very aware of what it means to learn another language. The French spoken in Belgium contrasts to that spoken in France in a few ways because it’s been influenced by Dutch. You’ll notice it in some of the expressions.’
