Crescendo CVO

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

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

"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."

"The atmosphere in the classes is really great. The learners come from different countries, and by learning together, we also became friends. The teachers are true professionals and are truly committed to helping us."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."
