Crescendo CVO

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

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

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

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

"I can only recommend this course to anyone who loves travelling and learning new things. The level is very manageable without much extra study at home."

"I enjoy interacting with people from very diverse backgrounds and cultures, and I like helping whenever I am called upon. It also gives me a lot of satisfaction."

"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."

"Online lessons are pleasant and convenient for those with little time. The lessons run smoothly. They are basic courses, but I feel that I am learning, which is enjoyable. The breakout sessions offer the chance to collaborate with fellow students."
