    Was curious how Belgium would score by language region.

    Seems the Flemish part scores higher than The Netherlands while Wallonia drags everything down.

      Fairly unsurprising. English is literally harder if your native language is a romance language than if it is a germanic language. Same is true for germanic native speakers who try to learn a romance language.

        Except Flemish people tend to speak good French while people from Wallonia barely speak Dutch. I agree with your statement in general, but in the case of Belgium there’s a lot more to it than that.
