Crescendo CVO

“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.” 

“Dutch has very straightforward and simple rules, similar to English. I’m genuinely amazed and progressing quickly by doing all the exercises provided by the school.”

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

"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."

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

"The lessons are quite intensive: often, at the end of the morning session, we have to review our notes to reconstruct what we started three hours earlier. It can be a bit shocking to see how much material has been covered. Yet, few students drop out."

"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 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.”
