It's much different from the USA. In the States, there is only one language
spoken. In Europe, it's more than twenty languages. Every country has a
different language. Switzerland even has four languages."

"More than 130 years ago, Belgium was forged. They just took pieces of
France, the Netherlands and Germany to make a new country, where they speak
three languages. 60 percent speak dutch (flemish) in the north, 40 percent
speak french (wallon) in the south and very few people speak german in the
east."

"Languages are not divided everywhere. Usually it's even mixed. In Brussels
(Where the qep'a' takes place) two languages are spoken. The streetnames
for instance are written in two languages always. Therefore many Belgians
learn (and speak) two languages."

"Another reason for the choice:

the EU. It's easily reached and everyone knows it."
