Crescendo CVO

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

"After 27 years in Belgium, I decided it was time to learn French too. Not as a hobby, but because mastering all three national languages is essential for true integration."

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

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

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

"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.”

“I can already read and write fluently, and I just try to keep speaking, even if it goes a bit slower sometimes. All my colleagues support and help me, both with the language and with the work.” 

“I attended classes every day and obtained my diploma in just one year. I graduated in June 2025 and, in September, I started the Accounting Administration programme at Thomas More in Mechelen.”

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