Hi everyone,

I hope 2021 has been treating your well so far.

I would like some suggestions on French language learning. I am enquiring particularly on public school or night school or weekend school where they teach French for adults in Gent Area in evenings or weekends.

I have learned Dutch in Het Perspectief in Gent for one year. It was great learning experience. However I heard that in this school they teach French in Dutch, i.e., explaining French grammars in Dutch. My dutch is not that good.

So I would like to find a school in Gent or Brussels where they teach French in French or in English.

Thank you very much for your suggestions in advance.

Hello and welcome on our forum,

🤣🤣🤣 In fact, a lot of expats are lazy and/or afraid to learn new languages.

That's why they prefer to ghettorize themselves in their communities...

Learning French can be a great challenge but wonderful challenge...

I'm sure you will find a good school in your region.

The easiest way to learn is to talk with everybody.
