Crescendo CVO

"You learn a language, but you also learn how to interact with people.”

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

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

"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."

"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 a new language requires time and effort, but it is a valuable investment. Crescendo CVO offers affordable 3-hour weekly classes—ideal for those learning for work, family, or personal motivation."

"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."

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

“If you enjoy working with children or older people and you want to work with your heart, this is the perfect direction. You can even start in the middle of the year, just like I did.”
