Ik weet niet hoe de topografie daar is (is het Duitsland of België?).
Aangenomen dat het om België gaat vraag ik mij af waarom ze Frans kozen om
naar over te schakelen. Men had evengoed Duits kunnen houden (als officiële
Belgische taal) of over kunnen schakelen naar het Nederlands. Dat is ook een
officiële Belgische taal en waarschijnlijk makkelijker te leren voor
aanvankelijk Duitstaligen. Enig idee Roger?
