On B1 level at VOX, you will work towards the goal of being able to speak actively and independently, because at level B1 practically all of the grammar required for speaking freely will be completed. To achieve this, the principles of language usage on B1 level will be explained to you in a simple way using the VOX method, so that you can apply them immediately in your everyday life. We will work in a very focused and playful way on the sentence structure, declension of the nouns, declension of the adjectives, verb conjugation, Konjunktiv II, tenses and prepositions so that you can master these topics perfectly by the end of the course.

Course Description
If you are ready to sit your first intermediate level exam for German, then this course is for you. This course is also perfect for those who want to gain Swiss citizenship and need to prove that they have B1-level speaking skills or for your C-permit.
In this course, you will progress from a basic to an independent user of German and you will be able to deal with most daily situations in German. Your experienced teacher will help you to improve your language skills and also develop strategies for tackling the different parts of the exam. Our classes are small (3-5 people). This small size means your teacher can adapt to you and your needs. This exam preparation course will cover all parts of the exam: reading comprehension, listening comprehension, language elements (vocabulary and grammar), writing and, naturally, VOX’s specialty, speaking, and will familiarise you with the structure of each section. By using Telc-specific exam preparation materials you will be fully prepared for the exam by the end of the course.
Choosing a course
You can choose another German B1 Course in Zurich Central, with a different start date and a different schedule. More German Courses for all levels from A1 to C2. You may be interested in other language courses in Zurich Central. We will help you to speak fluently not only German!The highest score for the teacher we had, Valentina Carlini. Thanks to his professionalism and kindness, even German is more fun. Despite being an expensive course with teachers like her, it is worth it. I would recommend her 100%.
I learnt Russian with Vox-Sprachschule. Currently I learn German and Arabic with them. They have very professional teachers, and individual flexible approach to students. I'd especially like to recommend Mr Botchkarev as a teacher to people who think they are bad at learning languages. Mr. Botchkarev will not only teach you the language, but also will learn you how to learn languages.
(Translated by Google) Simply fantastic. We learn in small groups and are well looked after. Highly recommended 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 (Original) Einfach Top. Wir lernen in kleinen Gruppen und werden bestens versorgt. Volle Empfehlung 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I initially selected VOX from among a handful of recommended language schools in Zurich because of its broad course offering. But I’ve stayed with VOX because of my incredible teacher, Isabelle. She took me from having absolutely zero knowledge of the German language to passing my A1 exam (which I needed as a condition of my visa to remain in Switzerland) in three months during our small group A1 course (which covered all of A1 and included supplementary test prep material). After completing this group course, I have continued taking individual lessons with Isabelle, completing A2, and am currently working through B1. I would highly recommend VOX, especially Isabelle – she is incredibly professional, has a very effective teaching method, and is patient but also knows when to push you ahead.
I am currently learning Norwegian and I have to say this school is the best. My teacher, Kirsten, has a lot of patience and she explains everything good and clear. I am satisfied with the course ( couldn’t be better organised - full flexibility ). I would definitely recommend it.
(Translated by Google) I tried to learn German for 4 years in many ways: as a self-taught person, through apps or other online learning programs. But by far, Vox-Sprachschule Winterthur turned out to be the best choice! With teacher Daniel I made more progress than ever! The courses I chose are individual, Daniel customizes the study plan according to what works best for me. I am on my 4th session and I can say that I love German! I will do the next course with Daniel too! Thank you to the whole team! (Original) Am încercat să învăț limba germană timp de 4 ani în mai multe feluri:ca autodidactă ,prin aplicații sau alte programe de învățare online .Dar de departe,Vox-Sprachschule Winterthur s-a dovedit a fi alegerea cea mai bună!Cu profesorul Daniel am făcut mai multe progrese ca niciodată!Cursurile alese de mine sunt individuale,Daniel personalizează planul de studiu în funcție de ceea ce funcționează cel mai bine pentru mine.Sunt la a 4 a ședință și pot spune că iubesc limba germană!Următorul curs îl voi face tot cu Daniel!mulțumesc întregii echipe!
I had my lesson with Elly and she was super patient and help us to get us the AHA moment when comes to learning German. I especially enjoyed her lesson because we are not allow to speak english (most time) during her lesson, which helped us tremendously on german speaking skill 🤩🥰 really hope I can come back to her lesson at some point😭❤️🔥
(Translated by Google) I'm very happy with both my teachers (Anna and Evgeniya) and with Vox. The lessons are very enjoyable, and the content and level are 100% tailored to my needs. (Original) Ich bin sowohl mit meinen beiden Lehrerinnen (Anna und Evgeniya) als auch mit Vox sehr zufrieden. Der Unterricht ist sehr angenehm und der Inhalt und das Niveau sind zu 100% auf meine Bedürfnisse abgestimmt.
(Translated by Google) A unique school where teaching is fun! I particularly appreciate the focus on speaking and the small class sizes. Every student truly has a voice here. I'm delighted to be part of the Vox team. (Original) Eine einzigartige Schule, an der das Unterrichten Spass macht! Ganz besonders schätze ich den Fokus auf das Sprechen und die kleinen Klassen. Hier kommt wirklich jeder Schüler zu Wort. Ich freue mich, dass ich Teil des Vox-Teams sein darf.
(Translated by Google) Very good team that responds competently and diversely to students and customers. (Original) Sehr gutes Team, das kompetent und vielfältig auf die Studenten und Kunden eingeht.
I took the online classes and I’m extremely satisfied with the way the classes are organised. Would highly recommend Nora Wilhelm as a teacher.
