Crescendo CVO

"To all foreigners living in Belgium, I’d like to say: Go for it! Learn the language. It not only gives you opportunities but also makes you feel truly at home in this beautiful and diverse country.”

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

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

"When I started, Spanish was just beginning to be on the menu."

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

"I taught six hours after my work, which brought quite a bit of pressure. I really enjoyed teaching itself. The class was motivated and at a good level. The support from the school was excellent, with clear guidance and well-prepared instructions."

"By combining work and study, I want to be a good role model for the children. At home, we increasingly speak Dutch; the youngest two attend a Dutch-speaking school, and my husband is now also learning Dutch at Crescendo CVO."

"You can really see the learners grow. They speak up spontaneously and dare to make mistakes. They also use French more often outside the classroom. To me, that's the sign that it works."

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