Crescendo CVO

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

“Dutch has very straightforward and simple rules, similar to English. I’m genuinely amazed and progressing quickly by doing all the exercises provided by the school.”

"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."

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

"In Halle, I had a fantastic teacher: kind, very patient, and she used many synonyms which helped me understand everything better."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."
