Crescendo CVO

“I attended classes every day and obtained my diploma in just one year. I graduated in June 2025 and, in September, I started the Accounting Administration programme at Thomas More in Mechelen.”

"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."

“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.” 

"My advice? Start learning Dutch as soon as possible. I waited a year and now I regret it; maybe I would be a year further along."

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

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

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

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

"The teachers are very supportive and extremely patient. They constantly correct us and revisit topics we struggle with."
