Crescendo CVO

“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.”

"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!"

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

"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 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."

"The teachers are very helpful and show a lot of patience. They correct us all the time and repeat the material we struggle with."

"In Halle, I had a fantastic teacher: kind, very patient, and she used many synonyms which helped me understand everything better."

"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."
