Crescendo CVO

"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!"

"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."

"A language course at Crescendo CVO is much more than grammar or vocabulary: it’s a bridge to respect, connection, and real opportunities in our society."

"I enjoy interacting with people from very diverse backgrounds and cultures, and I like helping whenever I am called upon. It also gives me a lot of satisfaction."

"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."

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

"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."
