Bookstores in Brussels, Belgium

driving is a kinesthetic activity and as such should be taught in a car moving around. for this I highly recommend you to have a gander at http://joral.be/ , they will be able to help you in English. it is not advisable to learn driving from books, may be a few videos to grasp the idea about clutch/changing gear etc. for theory matters in BE I suggest https://www.drivestart.be/ though in French at this time. this book - http://www.drivinglicence-belgium.be/ shall be available at FNAC(City2) at the cost of ~50 Eur. it is btw the only guide in English I was able to find.

Srdjan, please do not confuse people. Have you read the law in the first place? here it is says: http://www.code-de-la-route.be/textes-legaux/sections/ar/ar-230398/629-t3 hs2 afd2

Alexa, for better time management - http://www.autocontrole.be/actfr/pages/text/rijbewijs/faq.html#8

it is illegal to take practical lessons without a provisional license, none of the reputable schools will allow a student to do so. the provisional license can be gathered at the town hall, where you will need to show your theory test result, without that - no go. The only possibility is that one is in a possession of a foreign driving license, which is recognized in Belgium. for theory test location please consult http://www.brussels.be/artdet.cfm/4368

while to find a translator for the practical exam is not a big deal, to take the theory test in English is more complicated. give a call to http://www.goca.be/fr/ to learn where the next exam in English will be hosted. they can put you on a waiting list so once you are finished with studies, you might take part.

Have a look here, a mixed listing of second-hand and new bookstores http://thisissuperserious.com/2012/03/12/english-books-and-bookshops-in-brussels/

There is a tiny shop on Avenue Latérale (Uccle), just behind Vivier d'Oie station, that buys CD's and DVD's. It's called Monsieur Jean.

As Aoife already said Action Aid will willingly take the books/CDs/DVDs etc as a donation, they can dropped off at the Transforma BXL offices on a Monday or Tuesday during the day (http://www.transformabxl.be/contact) or we can maybe arrange pick up?
