I already explained why I learn French in Belgium (read my post: why study French in Belgium), so I will now add a few schools in Belgium where you can get some French immersion.
Since I am taking my French course in the northern part of Belgium, I also point out there is a cute caste in the east of Belgium where you can learn French in the city of St-Truiden : Velm Center
If you love nature, little mountains and rivers, then the south of Belgium, better known as the Ardennes is a perfect place to get an intensive French course like the one provided by Dialogue Center.

Another beautiful city in the Ardennes is Spa: well known for its spring (the amount of Spa bottles I have drank is kind of countless …:-) ) . In Spa you can follow French classes at Ceran Languages.
As soon as I find more interesting places where you can learn French in Belgium, I will add them to this list 
Feel free to add a comment if you have beel learning French abroad as well!

Step 3: learn 1 Basic French phrase a day
Every day you probably spend a lot of time that you can use to study French: sitting on the toilet, watching ads on TV, stirring your food, waiting for the train, lining up at the bank… All this time you can use wisely to study French!
Learn the written form of Basic French Phrases that you can use in daily life (French words like hello, how are you, where is the post office…). Write the sentence down, so you can look at it every time of the day and like that, you will also get familiar with the French writing and French spelling.
You can even practice in silence using these Basic French Phrases:
- when you want to say thank you,
- think on the same moment of its French equivalent "merci".
Go to Basic French Phrases to start learning 1 basic French phrase a day!
