Crescendo CVO

"Learning the language is my biggest challenge. I take Dutch lessons and participate in Hallo Nederlands activities to practice more, and I join conversation tables in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw. I have also completed a special language course for medicine. The support I receive there helps me a lot."

"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."

"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."

"Online lessons are pleasant and convenient for those with little time. The lessons run smoothly. They are basic courses, but I feel that I am learning, which is enjoyable. The breakout sessions offer the chance to collaborate with fellow students."

"To all foreigners living in Belgium, I’d like to say: Go for it! Learn the language. It not only gives you opportunities but also makes you feel truly at home in this beautiful and diverse country.”

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

“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.”

"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 only recommend this course to anyone who loves travelling and learning new things. The level is very manageable without much extra study at home."
