Hi everyone!
I want to ask for your help on this big decision!
I'm a nurse and I've been searching for jobs in these both countries.
Now it's time that I decide which one to go.
Can you help me? I accept any ideas (cost of living, if it's easy making friends, etc.)

Thank you all!

I can read and listen, but speaking only simple phrases in French.
If I go to belgium, there's a recruitment agency for nurses that will give me dutch classes before leaving Portugal.

If u will go Belgium u will learn new language plus u will also struggle in England regarding English as there accent is different in every city and if u will go Liverpool Bolton and special Yorkshire then u will say u don't know English so it's better to try Belgium
