hi all,
Last week I received an assignment for a course in my last year (multilingual communication). I have to perform a small 'multicultural' research.
Now, as I have been reading these forums for quite some time (ever since cm 3 I think :cool: .
To keep it short, I would greatly appreciate it if you would fill out the following questionnaire. Please answer the questions spontaneously (i.e. don't look things up ).
The topic is ' Foreign opinions & stereotypes concerning Belgium'.
- if you don't know something, you can leave it blank, but I repeat: plz don't do any research, you can leave that to me
Questions
1.Have you ever been to Belgium?
2.Do you know any Belgian people?
3.Give three words that you connect with Belgium
4.Give three characteristics of a Belgian
5.Which is/are the official language(s) in Belgium?
6.What are the colours of the Belgian flag?
7.Do you think Belgium is a republic or a monarchy?
8.Which religion is predominant in Belgium?
9.If you would visit Belgium, where would you go and why?
10.Do you know any famous Belgians (everyone that comes to mind…)
