Côté – Heritage & Culture Map

Every place has a story. Discover local heritage on a living map, with stories tailored to the reader — plus dialect lessons and word games. Start today!

Every place has a story. Côté tells it. Discover local heritage on an interactive map: history, anecdotes, monuments and culture points per municipality and sub-municipality, narrated to match the reader. Alongside the map, learn the West-Flemish dialect through interactive lessons and play word games drawn from a real dialect vocabulary pool.

EXPLORE LOCAL HERITAGE • Interactive map showing culture points (history, anecdotes, war memorials, dialect heritage) per municipality • Stories tailored to the reader: each culture point has a narration style adapted to its audience • Built-in heritage dictionary: difficult words are explained on the spot • Tap a municipality or sub-municipality icon to see what is locally relevant • Coverage growing across Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg

LEARN THE DIALECT • Sound-key (Klanksleutel) lessons that teach the systematic sound shifts between Dutch and West-Flemish • Situational lessons grounded in everyday scenes (the baker, the dyke, asking directions, on the market) • Vocabulary, translation and pronunciation exercises with native-speaker audio • Progress tracking with badges and a hearts/lives system • Exercises adapt to your level, from beginner to advanced • Source language configurable: Dutch, French, English, German, Arabic, Turkish, Ukrainian or Polish, so you can learn the dialect from your own mother tongue

WORD GAMES (pool grows with the lessons) • Hangman, Wordle, Filippine, Word-search, Snake, Maze: all drawn from the live dialect vocabulary pool • Match-pair "kernwoorden" game per municipality (Bruges, Ostend, Kortrijk, Poperinge, Torhout) • Community leaderboards for Snake and Maze, from your street up to all of Europe
