Exercicing foreign languages in Brussels

If you are living in Brussels and get bored chatting on the net with people living in countries you'll never visit anyway, there is a great opportunity you're missing: you can join le "cercle polyglotte de bruxelles" and meet lots of people speaking Dutch, English, Russian,German,Spanish, etc....and chat with them (in real life!), while having a good drink !
These chat sessions aren't like classes at all, it's just chat sessions organized by a private club (but their entrance fee doesn't look like they are one - it's really cheap) targetting an audience with at least a fair knowledge of one of the aforementioned language. Up to now, I have been attending these sessions only once but the amosphere was really laid back, yet productive.
This club hold sessions once a week in Etterbeek, near La Chasse/De Jacht. It's quite easy to reach with public transport or by car if you live in the south of the capital.
If you are solely looking for a chance to speak Dutch (and only Dutch), you can also try a great initiative called Babbelut. It's another (free) chat group and it's held every week in various areas of Brussels , check their website for more details. I usually attend the group in Ixelles and it's also pretty cool .
