Author Topic: French Film Festival Protesters/Demonsstrators Lionel Fouillen Expert Film Handler Posts: 230 From: Belgium Registered: Nov 2002 posted 03-18-2003 01:23 AM                     Michael, It is indeed Dutch. More often referred to as Flemish because the region is called Flanders and the people the Flemish, but it's Dutch. The differences may limit to the accent and a few idiomatic expressions, as with "Belgian French" and "French French". And, yes, German is one of our three national languages, being spoken in the tiny bilingual region near the German border.  |  IP: Logged Jean-Michel Grin Expert Film Handler Posts: 222 From: Geneva & Lausanne, Switzerland Registered: Jul 2002 posted 03-18-2003 12:28 PM                        In Switzerland we have too three different languages: -French (that I speak) -Swiss-German (verry different of the German ) -Italian (on the south of the country) -One more language Is Romanche (Rumantz) It's a mix of French, German an Italian.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

Sadly, we got hung up on.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?" Posts: 4143 From: Boston, MA Registered: Apr 2002 posted 03-19-2003 03:15 PM                        Did George actually answer the phone himself? BTW where does the quote come from?  |  IP: Logged Andrew Duggan Expert Film Handler Posts: 127 From: Albany, NY, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 03-19-2003 04:14 PM                        No a very angry woman answered the phone. Although in her defense, we did call at 3am from a local bar. The quote at the bottom of my posts? It's from the Royal Tenenbaums, from the part where Eli Cash is reading from his book.  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

I am surprised that Washington has bars open at 3am.  |  IP: Logged
