The dialect we speak in our part of belgium is hardly comprehensible by Belgians who do not live in our region. As we speak a very rich type of language with numerous ways to express ourselves, we find it important tol teach visitors to Belgium what to say when they're looking for, meeting or getting close to a West Flemish person.
We shall start our series of lessons with a number of typical situations and useful words or expressions. You get the English text with the West Flemish dialect translation aside. The most important words or expressions are put between phonetic brackets. Using this terminology will prove helpful upon visiting West Flanders next time you come over.
