What is a good way to meet and make friends here in Belgium?

I just moved to Belgium from the states. I live in Sterrebeek which is a very small Flemish town. I also go to a language school but most of my classmates do not speak english so making friends here is very hard! What is a good way to meet and make friends here in Belgium?

Reply:Go to a bar.


Offer the whole public a beer.


After this beer, you offer then another beer.


then you can talk and laugh, sing and cheat, the whole night.


At the end you will have a lot of new friends.


The next day you do the same, but in another bar.


After some weeks everybody of Sterrebeek will love you.
Reply:Find an English or Irish bar to find English speakers.





Find an expat website for Brussels. I know you are not in Brussels, but you are close to it. You can take the train.





Learn French. May take a while though. I am taking classes and hope to hone my French skills in 6 months to start making French speaking friends.
