      Dutch and Flemish are almost the same language, but it’s the small differences that occasionally make Flemish amusing to Dutch speakers.
      My brother saw a sign on the fence at a Belgian building site which read: verboden op het werk te komen, which means: access to building site is prohibited. But in Dutch it means it’s prohibited to go to work.
