For foreigners that do their best to study some Dutch ... here's definately the place to be surprised about the language they use in daily life. Limburgian is one of the extreme dialects in The Netherlands (by the way, this small country has over 100 official dialects, not even counting the real language of the Frysians!). Limburgian dialect is influenced by German and French (as it is also bordreing these lingual groups). Now it's not that crossing the German border means stepping into another lingual area, as the Germans across the border speak as Limburgian as the Limburg people themselves (as well can be said from the Belgians in their province that is calles Limburg as well.
Limburgian by the way sounds softer, more melodious and friendlier then any other dialect in The Netherlands.
Simple example to show it's really different:
Kun je ook Limburgs praten?
Kast du auch Lemburgs kallen?
Just listen to the people sitting next to you on the terrace (that is ... if they don't speak any other worldlanguage as the seem to be tourists as well (-:
