Abstract	The purpose of this study is to investigate and compare the informal learning activities which French-speaking higher education students in Brussels engage in while learning English and Dutch. The informal learning of English was investigated in 2012, while the informal learning of Dutch was studied in 2015 and then compared to the informal learning of English. The outcomes of this study highlight the importance of raising students' awareness of their informal learning and of raising teachers' awareness of what students do to enhance informal language learning. Teachers may then encourage informal learning by suggesting appropriate materials and methods. The study gives an insight into informal language learning within a formal learning system and the importance of recognising its role therein.
