Dutch Language Exchange

I know this is an unusual post for r/Houston, but I am a Houston native looking to find people from Belgium or the Netherlands who would be interested in doing a language exchange.

I am going to move to Belgium next year and I want to be able to speak Flemish before I move with my Belgian family. I checked UH and Rice's websites, and they do not offer any courses in Dutch.

(I know Dutch and Flemish are not the same, but it's nearly impossible to find Flemish speakers, so learning Dutch seems far more practical)

Ideally, a language partner would speak Dutch / Vlams / Flemish and I can speak English / Spanish with them, or I can even tutor in many other subjects like math or finance.

Additionally, if any of you have tips for finding a language partner, I'd greatly appreciate any advice! It's going to be a very difficult move and I want to learn as much as I can before I move.
