Crescendo CVO

"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."

"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."

“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.” 

"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."

"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."

"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 enjoy interacting with people from very diverse backgrounds and cultures, and I like helping whenever I am called upon. It also gives me a lot of satisfaction."

"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."
