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!I am currently in the A2 German course at VOX. I am extremely happy with their services. The class I am in has 4 people which makes each lesson feel like private or semi-private. My teacher Isabelle is fantastic. She pushes us to only speak in German throughout the lesson which I can tell has boosted my grammar and speaking abilities. She makes each class interactive by explaining the theory and then letting us put it into practice, there is a lot of emphasis on speaking. I truly appreciate her teaching style and the confidence VOX has given me to speak more German in my everyday life.
(Translated by Google) I'm very satisfied with VOX School. I had my lessons with Kristina. After her lessons, I received the Goethe Certificate C1. I can recommend Kristina to anyone.

Ich kann Kristina für jeden empfehlen.
I just completed another great course for advanced German language learners. The course was tailored exactly to my needs with ample opportunity to talk and build vocabulary in so many different topics and themes. Our teacher Solange Morel was excellent. She made the class interesting, helping us build our oral, reading and listening skills. She also picked up the grammar areas where we needed a refresher and wove that skillfully in the lessons. Thank you Vox and Solange for the great experience. Looking forward to the next course.
I’m very happy with VOX. I’ve completed my A2 and B1 German courses here, and I’m currently doing B2. I really like the way the classes are conducted. It’s not just about doing exercises in a book there’s a strong focus on conversation and discussing topics that interest the students. I’d especially like to mention Priska. She’s an excellent teacher who prepares all her lessons with care, always answers our questions, helps us, and teaches in the best possible way. I will definitely continue taking my courses here ☺️
I had a fantastic experience at VOX-Sprachschule, and I thoroughly enjoyed the course from start to finish. The structure of the program was excellent, and I noticed significant improvement in my skills. The course materials were exceptionally well-prepared, thoughtfully designed to suit the needs of learners, and effectively supplemented the lessons. Fabian Bollinger, the teacher, was truly outstanding. His professional and approachable teaching style made learning both enjoyable and engaging. His approach made learning easy and engaging, encouraging interactive participation and creating a supportive learning environment. His dedication and skill as a teacher were key to my progress. Thank you Fabian! I am delighted with the progress I made during the course. I highly recommend the school to anyone looking to improve their German in a professional, engaging, and supportive setting.
I took some swiss-german courses with Silvan per Zoom. It was perfect, efficient, well organised. This school has very friendly teachers. Recommanded.
(Translated by Google) The two of us have been attending an English language course every two weeks for a few years now. For some time now, we've been taking it with an extremely competent and personable instructor. We certainly enjoy a somewhat special course with her. Our goal isn't to reach a high level in the shortest possible time, but rather to always take a small step forward and keep our English "fresh." Previous instructors were also very competent, and we always had a lot of fun, which we consider a key factor. We highly recommend the VOX language school. (Original) Wir besuchen zu zweit seit ein paar Jahren alle zwei Wochen einen Englischsprachkurs. Seit geraumer Zeit jetzt bei einer äusserst kompetenten und sympathischen Kursleiterin. Wir geniessen sicher einen etwas speziellen Kurs mit ihr. Unser Ziel ist es nicht, innert kürzester Zeit einen hohen Level zu erreichen, sondern wir möchten immer einen kleinen Schritt weiter kommen und das Englisch "warm" halten. Auch vorherige Kursleiter waren sehr kompetent und es hat uns immer grossen Spass gemacht, was in unseren Augen auch ein wesentlicher Faktor ist. Wir können die VOX-Sprachschule wärmstens empfehlen.
Great place to learn German. The teachers and the admin team do a great job of creating a very personalised experience. May seem expensive at first sight but you should consider that Vox do one level (A1, A2 etc.) as one course, rather than dividing a level into 3 courses as other schools do.
I'm really happy with my German A2 course at VOX. From the start, they were super helpful in finding a class that fit my schedule. My teacher, Linda, is fantastic. She explains grammars and vocabularies to understand better from our perspective and just makes it easier for us to learn. She's always supportive and really cares about the students to improve. Great experience and I will come back here for my next level course!

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.
(Translated by Google) I took the super-intensive B1 German course. The flexibility and availability of the management team was fantastic, and together we were able to find the best fit for me. Andersen's teaching methods and explanations were always very clear and simple. His availability, knowledge of languages, and his friendliness created a very pleasant environment. Because it was a small group, everyone always had the opportunity to express their doubts and uncertainties, and Andersen always answered them fully. I was truly satisfied with this course! I can't wait to start the B2 German course! (Original) Ho frequentato il corso B1 super intensivo di tedesco. La flessibilità e la disponibilità della parte manageriale è stata fantastica e insieme siamo riusciti a trovare ciò che per me era meglio. I metodi d'insegnamento di Andersen e le sue spiegazioni sono sempre state chiarissime e semplici. La sua disponibilità, la conoscenza delle lingue e la sua simpatia hanno creato un ambiente molto piacevole. Essendo un gruppo piccolo, ognuno aveva sempre la possibilità di esporre i propri dubbi e incertezze e Andersen ha sempre risposto pienamente a tutto. Sono stato veramente soddisfatto di questo corso! Non vedo l'ora di iniziare il corso B2 di tedesco!
