Crescendo CVO

"The teachers are very helpful and show a lot of patience. They correct us all the time and repeat the material we struggle with."

"A heartwarming moment was the Christmas party with the students at Crescendo CVO. The openness of the students was truly special and made me feel like I belonged."

"In Halle, I had a fantastic teacher: kind, very patient, and she used many synonyms which helped me understand everything better."

"A language course at Crescendo CVO is much more than grammar or vocabulary: it’s a bridge to respect, connection, and real opportunities in our society."

"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."

"The lessons are quite intensive: often, at the end of the morning session, we have to review our notes to reconstruct what we started three hours earlier. It can be a bit shocking to see how much material has been covered. Yet, few students drop out."

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

"Thanks to the French lessons from Anne, we’re truly growing. Their empathy, the content, and the warm learning environment make all the difference – we’re very grateful for that."

"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."
