"What I did appreciate most: of course, the cheap price of buying fruits and vegetables at the public market, of eating dinner or lunch for less than 6 or 7 dollars. Professional services, such as dentistry work came at 75% less than at home in Canada," said a member in Belmopan, Belize.

"English is the official language in Belize, yes, and most people here speak it. Depending on where you live, you may find that Spanish is more the language spoken (here in the Cayo, Spanish seems to be more the mother tongue for many Belizeans) though they do speak English. It’s also the language that their kids get taught in, in school. Spanish is not necessary. It’s just nice to have, if you know it," remarked another expat who made the move to Belize.
