About the country

About Belgium

Belgium, in the middle of western Europe, is a multilingual country where Dutch, French and German are all official languages. Known for its historic squares, chocolate and comic-strip culture, it is small enough to get to know quickly. Brussels, the capital, is home to the main institutions of the European Union, which gives the city an international atmosphere where many languages and cultures are heard side by side.

Belgium is an interesting choice for anyone who wants to learn Dutch or French. Programmes focus on general Dutch and general French courses, and the locations are Brussels and the small town of Berlaar near Antwerp. Being able to choose between big-city life and a quiet town means you can learn the language in surroundings that match your own pace.
