Crescendo CVO

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

"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."

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

"After 27 years in Belgium, I decided it was time to learn French too. Not as a hobby, but because mastering all three national languages is essential for true integration."

"It took me a while to find a suitable Russian course. I was specifically looking for an online class because I don’t feel very comfortable in a classroom with twenty other students."

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

"To all foreigners living in Belgium, I’d like to say: Go for it! Learn the language. It not only gives you opportunities but also makes you feel truly at home in this beautiful and diverse country.”

"The lessons are quite intensive: often, at the end of the morning session, we have to review our notes to reconstruct what we started three hours earlier. It can be a bit shocking to see how much material has been covered. Yet, few students drop out."

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