There is a great variety of opportunities for learning languages in Brussels, ranging from group lessons to individual tutoring, from daily to weekly courses. We have compiled a list of initiatives in Brussels that should help you find the formulas that best suit your needs. Click on language courses for the list!

If you already have some knowledge of a language, conversation tables will help you practice and improve your proficiency. Other initiatives put you in contact with native speakers so that you can practice speaking in a natural environment. You can find a list of conversation groups and similar initiatives on this page.

Please note that this is simply an indicative list and the Marnix Plan cannot take responsibility for the quality of courses, programmes or teachers you choose to use.
