Crescendo CVO

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

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

"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."

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

"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."

"We have a great group! I already signed up for module B because I really enjoy it."

"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."

"I taught six hours after my work, which brought quite a bit of pressure. I really enjoyed teaching itself. The class was motivated and at a good level. The support from the school was excellent, with clear guidance and well-prepared instructions."

"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!"
