Crescendo CVO

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

"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."

“If you enjoy working with children or older people and you want to work with your heart, this is the perfect direction. You can even start in the middle of the year, just like I did.”

"The atmosphere in the classes is really great. The learners come from different countries, and by learning together, we also became friends. The teachers are true professionals and are truly committed to helping us."

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

"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."

"My goal is to find a job and provide my family with a stable life. The lessons help me enormously, and although my vocabulary is still limited, I make progress every day."

"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."

"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."
