Hey guys,

I am a new student here I came in September last year, I am starting to learn Dutch, but I am no way near being good enough to work in a dutch environment, I have been trying to find something since October, but every job requires either dutch or french and sometimes both, where can I find a website or something so I can apply for student jobs, I live in Leuven. Any help is appreciated.

@Jaci Thank you, did you tell them that you don't speak dutch back then? and although I have experience in hotels with corona I doubt they need staff. And again thank you.

Yes! I told them I had basic Dutch and that I understood, main problem was speaking. Luckily for me they needed people because it was Sumer time and where I live most tourists were English speaking.
