Crescendo CVO

"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."

"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.”

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

"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 can only recommend this course to anyone who loves travelling and learning new things. The level is very manageable without much extra study at home."

"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!"

"You can really see the learners grow. They speak up spontaneously and dare to make mistakes. They also use French more often outside the classroom. To me, that's the sign that it works."

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

“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.”
