Crescendo CVO

"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."

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

"A heartwarming moment was the Christmas party with the students at Crescendo CVO. The openness of the students was truly special and made me feel like I belonged."

"The group was warm and lively, and most of us were learning Polish to connect with our partners. That shared goal gave us a sense of camaraderie and a bit of fun craziness!"

“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.”

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

"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."

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

"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."
