Cours du Soir de Langues – Ville de Bruxelles

The Cours du Soir de Langues is the City of Brussels’ adult language school on Rue Ernest Allard. It teaches French to speakers of other languages, alongside Dutch and English. Learners can practise the language they need in Brussels for everyday conversation, written correspondence or exchanges with colleagues.

French, Dutch and English for adult learners

The city describes general courses that progress from beginner to intermediate study. They work on written and spoken communication through daily life, culture and current affairs. French and Dutch have different roles for different learners in Brussels. Familiarity with one language need not determine the starting level in another.

The school also offers a separate route for people preparing for Dutch-language examinations used in public-sector employment. This is a more specific objective than improving general conversation. Someone choosing a course for that purpose should establish which assessment their employer requires before selecting a group. The city identifies the school as part of its publicly subsidised adult education system. Its administrative contact at 49 Rue Ernest Allard is the reference for checking registration dates and the teaching room for a particular group.
