Crescendo CVO

"Although I can follow the NT2 course well, learning Dutch is quite difficult. In Ukrainian, we don’t have articles. Making sentences in Dutch is really complicated. The lessons are very useful because I am learning Dutch specifically for technical professions. That will help me find a great job in the future."

"By combining work and study, I want to be a good role model for the children. At home, we increasingly speak Dutch; the youngest two attend a Dutch-speaking school, and my husband is now also learning Dutch at Crescendo CVO."

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

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"I felt that I was not alone. The teachers took the time and looked for solutions with me. I was given an extra semester to complete the programme."

The lessons were interactive and fun, with games, dialogues, and role-plays. The teacher was fantastic.
