Crescendo CVO

"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."

"I feel much prouder. Now I follow all my lessons in Dutch, and I’m really happy about that!"

"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 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 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 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."

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

"You learn a language, but you also learn how to interact with people.”

"Few expats speak Portuguese. Those who do, like me, are sometimes thanked for it here."
