yea, I can understand that... don't really want to learn it with dialect either

I do. (or at least an accent)
I think it is a beautiful thing, dialect. It shows your heritage.
But one shouldn't speak it on "official" base, or with people thatn can't understand it!

well, I can help you then, I am perfectly free of dialect

I am not (in Dutch) and I'm proud of it!
(except in written Dutch, 'cause it's hard to write in a dialect that has no official rules)
And I cannot seem to get rid of it, since everyone speaks with a dialect here in Flanders. (except the news ancors)
Besides, everyone seems to understand my Best accent here, so.... (no, not in NL, I know )

well I do like Platt too, that's of course part of my roots, but that is MY dialect... when I am learning another's language, there is no need to also learn another's dialect, because that has nothing to do with my roots. Just because I start talking like a redneck, I'll never be one and also never indentify with it. I'd just like to talk English professionally and to sound serious

That's the nice thing about Belgium.
You can say different things for the same thing.

I dare someone to open a thread in Band Suggestion forum saying: "Eminem for Wacken 2009!"

For a foreign language I'd do the same. Though that might sometimes be difficult.
For instance, Belgian French is French, but has different words and expressions. If I were* to use French French, they'd laugh at me!

It's even worse. Yesterday I had linguistic problems with FLEMISH people, even though we're supposed to speak the same language!

*)To my (humble) opinion, this is correct English.

only thing I could see if I moved to lets say Ireland someday for a few years and I really loved living there and started feeling a connection or identity to it, I might be proud about talking Irish dialect then, but not like this. I am a German talking as professional English, as it's possible to me and I don't want to mix my language with different dialect parts
