Are you sure that that's Dutch? Being Belgium, it's more likely Flemish (similar to Dutch but not as harsh). And no I can't speak/read Flemish, as my grandfather refused to let his daughters learn the language because, as he said, "he was now an American" (he immigrated from Belgium when he was 25 years old).

Well, we're getting into semantics now.
Dutch is the language that is spoken in The Netherlands and the upper half of Belgium (bottom half speaks French).
Flemish is more a local dialect of the Dutch language, and there are also several "varieties" of Dutch in The Netherlands as well.
Some Dutch is also spoken in Northern France, with strong Gaelic influences. But for the most part understandable for dutch-speaking people.
