Crescendo CVO

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

“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.”

"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."

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

“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.” 

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

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

"I feel much prouder. Now I follow all my lessons in Dutch, and I’m really happy about that!"

"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!"
