Crescendo CVO

"My goal is to find a job and provide my family with a stable life. The lessons help me enormously, and although my vocabulary is still limited, I make progress every day."

"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."

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

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

"A language course at Crescendo CVO is much more than grammar or vocabulary: it’s a bridge to respect, connection, and real opportunities in our society."

"After the first basic module, you grasp the basics and logic of the language, and introducing yourself becomes possible. You are expected to practice and prepare for the lesson. I set aside half an hour per week for homework: practicing via BookWidgets is enjoyable."

"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."

"It took me a while to find a suitable Russian course. I was specifically looking for an online class because I don’t feel very comfortable in a classroom with twenty other students."

"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.”
