Language exchange in Brussels.
Practise French, Dutch or English face to face in a city that switches between all three. Join the Brussels waitlist and we will email you when it opens.
How it works in Brussels.
Hearing three languages on one tram ride is not the same as speaking them. A regular exchange turns that background noise into real practice.
Pick your languages
Add the languages you speak and the ones you want. French, Dutch, English or any of 130+ languages, and you can learn more than one.
See who is nearby
Once Brussels opens, the map will show people in Ixelles, Saint-Gilles, Schaerbeek or around the European Quarter, so you can filter by commune as well as language.
Meet for 30 minutes
Meet after work or on a weekend, split the half hour between your two languages and switch when the time is up. Simple, and nothing like a class.
Three languages, one tram ride.
Brussels mixes Belgians from both language communities with people who came for the EU institutions, universities and embassies. Plenty of them want to improve their French or finally get comfortable in Dutch, and TaalMeet will help them find a partner who wants to learn their language back.

Brussels sits a short train ride from The Hague, where TaalMeet began, and from other cities on the list.
Language exchange in Brussels: questions.
Not yet. TaalMeet started in The Hague and opens city by city, in the order the waitlists fill up. Download the app and we will tell you when Brussels opens.
Choose a public, easy spot. Muntpunt library near De Brouckère, the cafés on Place Flagey or the Parvis de Saint-Gilles, Place du Luxembourg near the European Parliament, or a walk in the Parc du Cinquantenaire all work well.
Yes. TaalMeet is free on iPhone and Android with no subscription, and the Brussels waitlist is free to join.
Both are official languages of the Brussels region. French is what you will hear in many cafés and shops, while Dutch helps in Flanders and in plenty of jobs. You can add both to your profile and do an échange linguistique with a different partner for each.
