    Allthough a native dutch speaker myself, I wouldn't recommend studying it for career purposes, unless you really want to work/live for a long period in the Netherlands/Flanders.

    Most people around here understand and speak English anyway and alot of Flemings have French as their second language.

    If you don't want to go for Spanish, then French seems to be the best option.

    I would seriously re-consider Spanish. Take it from a guy who speaks both English and Spanish, there aren't many places in the world where somebody doesn't speak one of them.

    There are times I wish they’d just ban everything- baccy and beer, burgers and bangers, and all the rest- once and for all. Instead, they creep forward one apparently tiny step at a time. It’s like being executed with a bacon slicer.

    Good point, well made.
