'Not a luxury': Flanders under fire for price rise of foreign language courses
                "By categorising language education as a hobby, Minister Demir overlooks the fact that many people enrol in language programmes to enhance their job prospects."
            
        
    
    
            In my home region of Flanders, all foreign language education for adults is becoming more expensive, because it is considered a "hobby", which it often is not. Could a certificate from employer or social services have done it better?
