Learning Languages

Whether you want formal language lessons or simply to practice or improve a language informally, the campus has just the answer to your language learning objectives.

As also mentioned in 'Out and About' the CVO-KHNB is a language school that happens to be found right on the Etterbeek Campus. Placement is based on the setting of an appointment, completion of an entrance test for placement purposes, as well as follow up registration and payment. 


It is best to get this done early in the school term, as popular classes are often filled up quickly. The prices and hours per week vary depending on the course level and focus. For more information on languages and levels available CLICK HERE to be redirected to the CVO-KHNB site.

                         ----------Language Tables----------                         

A less formal setting than the language school, the tables offer both the ability to practice the chosen language as well as meet new people. The setting is a relaxed one over at the Etterbeek student cafeteria from 12:15 till 13:45 where all are freely welcome. You can choose to eat a warm lunch, quick snack, coffee, or simply the company of a culturally diverse group speaking a common language. 

The Language spoken varies depending on the day:

Monday: 
'La Table française' (French) & 'La Tavola Italiana' (Italian)
Tuesday: 
'Nederlandse Taaltafel' (Dutch)
Wednesday: 
‘English Table’ (English) & ‘Deutscher Stammtisch (German)
Thursday:  
‘Rincón español’ (Spanish)
