Why should francophones in Belgium learn a language they'll never need, a language of distant lands they never visit?


More in general, the world misunderstands the francophones. Spoken French only uses a frequency of between 1000 and 2000 Hertz. Germanic languages use a range from 150 to 3000 Hertz. This is why French sounds so pleasant, so soothening. Elegant even. And this is why non-French, especially Germanic, sounds like animal-like low grunts or high-pitched squeels to francophones.

It also explains why it is nigh impossible for francophones to learn another language past a very early age. We simply do not hear what you say. We would understand it, we simply, literally, can't hear you. We hear you no more than you hear sub-sonic whale sounds, or high pitched mice. Our ears do not register the sounds you are producing.


Yes, it is true. Not kidding around.
