Crescendo CVO

"After two years, she will have a diploma as a care assistant and speak Dutch fluently."

"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."

"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."

"I feel much prouder. Now I follow all my lessons in Dutch, and I’m really happy about that!"

"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."

"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."

"I can only recommend this course to anyone who loves travelling and learning new things. The level is very manageable without much extra study at home."

"The group was warm and lively, and most of us were learning Polish to connect with our partners. That shared goal gave us a sense of camaraderie and a bit of fun craziness!"

“I attended classes every day and obtained my diploma in just one year. I graduated in June 2025 and, in September, I started the Accounting Administration programme at Thomas More in Mechelen.”
