Our Opinion

Bruxelles is associated like no other city with the process of European integration. The European officials and NATO strategists certainly knew why they chose the belgian capital city as their home. With a population around 1 million, Belgium's largest city is not only geographically well located but also stands out as an attractive option for tourists. So count a visit to the Grand Place (arguably the most beautiful market place in the world), the St Hubert Gallery (don't forget the pralines), the "Manneken-Pis" and the 165 billion times magnification of an iron crystal molecule as among the not-to-be-missed attractions.

Beer is just as much a part of Bruxelles as the officials and there are innumerable varieties to try thanks to the orientation of the city people from the many different countries that have also brought their natives tongues with them French has clearly remained the linga franca and it will therefore afford you plenty of opportunities to try out what you have learned in the classroom.

Our School

At our Vis-à-Vis partner organisation in Bruxelles, the language courses are conducted by qualified teachers in co-operation with the Alliance Française. The emphasis in the lessons is on communication which means that conversational ability is a central concern, although other linguistic skills such as grammar, writing and listening comprehension are certainly not neglected.
