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.

I would gladly recommend it. Right from the beginning she studied carefully my case and prepared a course fitting perfectly to my needs. I am quiet satisfied with the outcome.
(Translated by Google) I wanted to learn French and took 20 hours of private lessons with Mr. Sebastien. He was very kind, understanding, and took things slowly. The administration took very good care of their new students. They called me after the first week to see how I was doing. I once gave a 4-star review, and a day later, the administration called me directly to ask what I was missing or how they could help me further. Overall, I was very satisfied with Mr. Sebastien and the VOX administration team. When I have more time, I would like to continue my lessons. (Original) Ich wollte Französisch lernen und machte dort 20 Stunden Privatunterricht mit dem Herr Sebastien. Sehr nett, verständnisvoll und ging die Sache langsam an. Die Administration kümmerte sich sehr gut um Ihre Neuzugänge. Sie riefen mich nach der ersten Woche an, um zu wissen wie es mir ergeht. Ich machte einmal eine 4-Sterne Bewertung und 1 Tag später rief die Administration direkt mich an um zu fragen was mir fehlte oder wie sie noch behilflich sein können. Im grossen und ganzen war ich sehr zufrieden von Herr Sebastien und dem Administrationsteam von VOX. Wenn ich wieder mehr Zeit habe möchte ich gerne mein Unterricht fortsetzen.
(Translated by Google) I loved the place and the teacher is very very good, she makes it very easy to learn and helps you, she is very attentive and professional, I love it (Original) Ich habe den Ort geliebt und die Lehrerin ist sehr sehr gut, sie macht es sehr einfach zu lernen und hilft dir, sie ist sehr aufmerksam und professionell, ich liebe es
I took the standard B1 level class (Dienstag und Donnerstag Abendkurs) with Elena. She was a wonderful teacher and taught the grammar rules in a way I really understood. She also consistently corrected my Aussprache, which I appreciated (strong American accent here). Moreover, I was thankful for her help with my special request to prepare me for the Telc B1 test. Furthermore, I liked the availability of the Abendkurs (19:30-21:00) because I was able to attend after work. The standard class also covered a lot of material in 3 months. I recommend it if you can dedicate a generous amount of time to study.
The best language school for immigrants. Very reliable and responsive team, great teachers and also comfortable classes in heart of the city. I improved myself a lot with two courses already, and gladly will attend for more. Also the schedule might be flexible and they help with any questions I have. Thank you VOX! Keep going 🤗
(Translated by Google) I had the pleasure of learning German with Florian, and I can't recommend him highly enough! His teaching style is engaging and effective, making complex grammar concepts easy to understand. He also creates a supportive and interactive classroom atmosphere that encourages participation and builds confidence. He adapts lessons to individual needs and ensures that each student progresses at their own pace. Thanks to his passion for the language and culture, I have not only improved my German skills but also developed a true love for the language. He is very engaging. (Original) Ich hatte das Vergnügen, mit Florian Deutsch zu lernen, und ich kann ihn nicht genug empfehlen! Sein Unterrichtsstil ist ansprechend und effektiv, wodurch komplexe Grammatik Konzepte leicht verständlich werden. Er schafft auch eine unterstützende und interaktive Klassenatmosphäre, die zur Teilnahme anregt und das Selbstvertrauen stärkt. Er passt die Lektionen an die individuellen Bedürfnisse an und sorgt dafür, dass jeder Schüler in seinem eigenen Tempo Fortschritte macht.

I began my journey of learning German at VOX-Sprachschule Winterthur at the A2 level, and it has been an incredible experience. The school has well-structured courses and thoughtfully prepared materials that supported my learning at every step. I noticed significant progress in my skills almost immediately, which motivated me to continue with confidence and aim for the B2 level in the future. The administrative team was extremely responsive to any questions, whether communicated via telephone or email. Our teacher, Daniel Margiotta, was exceptional—humble, professional, and assertive in his teaching approach. I truly appreciate his dedication and the effort he put into making the lessons engaging and effective. I am deeply grateful for his support and would highly recommend VOX-Sprachschule to anyone looking to improve their German.
(Translated by Google) The school is very professional, although a bit pricey, but definitely worth the money. My B1 language teacher, Maria Fedorova, is incredibly dedicated! She explains grammar very efficiently and clearly, prioritizing it. She was available to answer all my questions and gave me many useful tips on everyday speech. The course structure and topics are absolutely fascinating. My enthusiasm for learning English has been ignited. I highly recommend Maria! (Original) Die Schule ist sehr professionell, preislich zwar eher teurer, aber sein Geld definitiv wert. Meine Sprachlehrerin Maria Fedorova für B1 ist super engagiert! Sie erklärt Grammatik sehr effizient und klar und priorisiert. Sie war für alle meine Fragen da und gab mir viele nützliche Tipps, wie es im Alltag gesprochen wird. Kursgestaltung und Themen absolut spannend. Meine Begeisterung für‘s Englisch lernen ist entfacht. I highly recommend Maria!
Big fan of Vox. I attended 3 courses here so far, and plan on attending more. Location is great, teachers are very knowledgeable and a lot of them have a background in linguistics. The class size is the great, I usually had 3 or 4 people in my classes.
I really like the school. It is organized, my teacher is really good (almost no English during the German class) and there are maximum 5 studens per class, which is important for the learning process.

Best regards, Mateusz Gradomski (Original) Mark Di Grazia – meine Empfehlung Ich möchte meine tiefe Wertschätzung für Mark Di Grazia zum Ausdruck bringen.

Mit herzlichen Grüßen, Mateusz Gradomski
I think I achieved my goals by doing a course with Felicity. I learned something new about learning as well, which I can apply in every studying subject. That's why I can recommend this course to everyone who learns German. The studying materials and school facilities are also of highest quality. Thank you ones more for your team work!
