Today, we’re going to talk about the use of the English language in Brussels. As we all know, at least one hundred languages are spoken on the streets of our city. This linguistic reality makes our capital one of the most cosmopolitan cities in the world and contributes immensely to multilingualism on an international level as an important economic, political and diplomatic hub. To help us answer that question, we've invited a couple of experts. Quentin van den Hove, who we've already met a few minutes ago, is an aldermen in the municipality of Schaarbeek. Then we have Mathis Saeys, who is a researcher at BRIO, VUB. And last but not least, Lauren Walker, news reporter at The Brussels Times.
