Crescendo CVO

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

"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."

"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."

"I felt that I was not alone. The teachers took the time and looked for solutions with me. I was given an extra semester to complete the programme."

"The teachers are very supportive and extremely patient. They constantly correct us and revisit topics we struggle with."

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

"Although I can follow the NT2 course well, learning Dutch is quite difficult. In Ukrainian, we don’t have articles. Making sentences in Dutch is really complicated. The lessons are very useful because I am learning Dutch specifically for technical professions. That will help me find a great job in the future."

"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."
