Hi, I'm taking a foreign exchange to Leuven next September and will be staying their at least till late February. My University provides free language courses for these exchanges and I've been asked whether I want to learn Dutch or French.

I, of course, will be spending by far most of my time in the city of Leuven, but I do intend to buy a bike and travel a lot in my free time to nearby locations and towns as I'm huge into biking and exploring.

What language would I get most use out of learning and do natives in Leuven generally know French or do they just speak Flemish? Also, if only Flemish; will Dutch be good enough for me to interact with people or is it more different then I'm lead t
