Flemish
words and phrases
Here are some useful words
and phrases to help you get by in Belgium.
Those of a sensitive disposition are advised to skip the racing section
– it’s not for the faint hearted, but then racing in Belgium
never was. Tip: If you are going over there to bang shoulders and grovel
in the gutter, print some racing phrases off and stick them to your bars
– natives always love it when you make the effort.
We will be constantly updating this page so if have any new words to add
send them in and we’ll add them to the list.
