Last year, I already wanted to visit Jean-Pierre, but that couldn't happen at the time because he was seriously ill. However, thanks to his optimism, he has overcome that difficult period. At the urging of his friend Michel, he was now even willing to cooperate on a video report. Jean-Pierre prefers to be called Piet. He is an exceptional French-Flemish man who speaks excellent Flemish, without a French accent and as if he comes from Poperinge. He has no good memories of his school days. Because he spoke Flemish, he was often punished, which caused him a great deal of grief. Piet is a giant carrier, and that is a small world where many people know each other, even across borders. As a result, he has regular contact with Belgians and Dutch people, where his language skills are a great advantage. Every day, he maintains his knowledge of Flemish with the help of 'De Druivelaar' and tries to read 'the comics', written, as he says himself, in 'High Flemish'.

Parce qu'il parlait flamand, il était souvent puni et pleurait beaucoup. Piet is a porter of the guests, the environment is small, car beaucoup de gens se connaissent, même au-delà des frontières. The fact is, the regulation and contact between the Belgians and the Netherlands, for their linguistic competences constituents should be considered. You are interested in connaissance with the language of 'Grapevine' and reading the 'koddiges', écrit, comme il l'lui-même, en 'haut flamand'. The son's military service, a Parisian and a daily traité de 'Boche du Nord'. Cette remarque l'a profondément blessé et l'a private mis en colère à l'époque…
