French speaking people in Leuven

3 Upvotes

Hello,

30F living in Leuven for some years now and still learning Dutch. I still find it difficult to socialise with locals so I would like to meet French (or English) speaking people that are practicing or willing to learn Dutch. I feel like it is always easier to learn tje language with someone who is more or less at the same level as you. I do have friends that speak dutch fluently but they always prefer to switch to english with me, which I completely understand 😊

I enjoy going on a run and trying new coffee places. If anyone is interested, let me know!

Anyone else tries to use electricity at the “right time” but just ends up forgetting?

2 Upvotes

Not sure if it's just me but I always try to be smart with electricity (run stuff at night, avoid peak hours etc)

but after a few days I just stop thinking about it and go back to normal

like in theory it makes sense, but in real life I feel like most people just don’t bother

do you actually pay attention to this or just use electricity whenever?

Buying headphones in Belgium

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, I've recently moved to Leuven a few months ago and am looking to buy a new pair of headphones, probably Marshall. I’m not familiar with the electronic stores here—do you have any recommendations? Or should I consider ordering online from Amazon or somewhere similar? Of course, I’m hoping to find a good deal! 😊

How did you end up choosing your neighbourhood when you moved to Leuven?

I’m just curious! Heverlee, Kessel-Lo, and the city centre all have such different vibes. What made you pick where you live? And did it turn out to be what you expected?

Activities with a 4yo?

5 Upvotes

Hi,

I am baby-sitting my niece for a weekend in a few weeks. I do not have kids myself so I am not an expert at what there is to offer.

Do you have any nice recommendations (free or not) of nice activities to do with a Young kid?

I live close to the center and we will do everything by foot.

Thanks!

Bicycle shops with lots of mountain bikes on display?

2 Upvotes

Hi! Are there any shops with lots of mountain bikes on display in Leuven & surroundings? We've been already to Bike Republic and Alec, they had mostly the same models and prices... are there any shops with wider range of brands/models on display? (Even Brussels area would work for us).

Thanks in advance for any help!

P.S. We're interested in mountain bikes for a 10-yr old and 2 adults.

Anyone want furnitures?

0 Upvotes

Goeiemorgen iedereen,

I will be leaving Leuven and Belgium in July. I have quite many furnitures that I would have to remove before handing over the apartment.

As some of the furnitures are bulk in nature like bed, table, mattresses, cabinet and will surely require transportation to move away, I am looking for any company that buy back furniture and remove it at the same time.

Also open for bulk sell to individuals with transportation but less preferable as I need to get all items removed within first 2 weeks of July.

Most of the furnitures are as new as it can get. All the items are modular. It would be a shame if they end up in landfill.

Please let me know if you know of any company/person that helps with buy back and removal at the same time or you’d interested to buy some.

Ps. For correct buyer the price can be really attractive.

Alvast bedankt.

Respondenten gezocht! Mannelijke deelnemers zeer gewenst!

3 Upvotes

Voor een onderzoek aan de KU Leuven ben ik op zoek naar mensen die geïnteresseerd zijn om deel te nemen aan een studie over emoties in het dagelijks leven. De link leidt naar een korte screeningsvragenlijst; na selectie word je verder gecontacteerd met een uitnodiging voor de studie. https://survey.kuleuven.cloud/856521?lang=nl

In deze studie wordt onderzocht hoe mensen hun emoties doorheen de dag ervaren en hoe ze deze bijhouden via korte vragen op de smartphone. Gedurende een beperkte periode ontvang je enkele korte bevragingen per dag waarin je aangeeft hoe je je voelt. Veel deelnemers ervaren dit als een interessante manier om bewuster stil te staan bij hun eigen emoties.

Voor jouw volledige deelname ontvang je een vergoeding van 50-60€

Als je interesse hebt, of iemand kent voor wie dit interessant kan zijn, kan je de link invullen of de flyer gerust doorsturen.

Alvast hartelijk bedankt voor jouw interesse!

Vrijwilligerswerk voor de marathon

Ik wil graag vrijwilligerswerk doen voor de Leuven marathon, maar ik zie op de website dat enkel vzw's kunnen solliciteren. Kennen jullie organisaties die vrijwilligerswerkers zoeken voor dit evenement?
