I'm not saying the people who'll come will have dificulties with English. I just predict that when most will be Dutch people, they'll tend to talk Dutch among each other, and the French talking people from belgium might have trouble keeping up with the conversations.
I notice this everywhere, even at work, when a majority speaks 1 language and 1 or a few speak an other, the most stuff is said in the language of the majority, while the few have some separate smaller conversations in a language everyone undertands. On it's own it's no problem, but the minority misses out on a lot that way.
this (small) loss of quality should NOT hold back motivated people though. I just am not sure many will be motivated enough...
And yes Antwerpen is full of Dutch people in the week-ends. But how many people do you see in DenHaag, Amsterdam ?
Rotterdam there might be some, as it's not too far away, but even then I doubt there will be many.
I myself regularly visits the area close to Rotterdam, just south of it, for fishing. that's why I know everything higher up is just a little too far me to make the trip, I don't like driving, which probably has a big part in that decision.
They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
