Crescendo CVO

"You don’t just learn a language in the classroom, but outside it too. We visit museums and exhibitions, and even organise study trips to Spain and Latin America. These are unforgettable and inspiring experiences. Would you like to join us? Make sure you’re quick to sign up…"

"I enjoy interacting with people from very diverse backgrounds and cultures, and I like helping whenever I am called upon. It also gives me a lot of satisfaction."

"My favourite moment during class? The coffee break, when everyone chats cheerfully... en français, bien sûr!"

"My advice? Start learning Dutch as soon as possible. I waited a year and now I regret it; maybe I would be a year further along."

"Learning the language is my biggest challenge. I take Dutch lessons and participate in Hallo Nederlands activities to practice more, and I join conversation tables in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw. I have also completed a special language course for medicine. The support I receive there helps me a lot."

"Few expats speak Portuguese. Those who do, like me, are sometimes thanked for it here."

"After the first basic module, you grasp the basics and logic of the language, and introducing yourself becomes possible. You are expected to practice and prepare for the lesson. I set aside half an hour per week for homework: practicing via BookWidgets is enjoyable."

"My dream is to get my diploma and work in a care home. The fact that we also learn Dutch in this programme is an extra motivation for me."

"The atmosphere in the classes is really great. The learners come from different countries, and by learning together, we also became friends. The teachers are true professionals and are truly committed to helping us."
