Crescendo CVO

"Thanks to the French lessons from Anne, we’re truly growing. Their empathy, the content, and the warm learning environment make all the difference – we’re very grateful for that."

"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.”

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

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

"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."

"My dream is to get my diploma and work in a care home. The fact that we also learn Dutch in this programme is an extra motivation for me."

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

"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."

"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."
