Crescendo CVO

“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.” 

"After the first basic module, you grasp the basics and logic of the language, and introducing yourself becomes possible. You are expected to practice and prepare for the lesson. I set aside half an hour per week for homework: practicing via BookWidgets is enjoyable."

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

The lessons were interactive and fun, with games, dialogues, and role-plays. The teacher was fantastic.

"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."

"The teachers are very helpful and show a lot of patience. They correct us all the time and repeat the material we struggle with."

"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!"

"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."

"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."
