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 by the end of the course through our speaking-based method. Your experienced teacher will not only help you to improve your language skills, but also to develop strategies for tackling the different parts of the exam efficiently and accurately.
Our classes are very small (3-5 people). This small size means your teacher can adapt to you and any special requirements you may have. Just ask your teacher. This course will cover all parts of the exam: reading comprehension, listening comprehension, language elements (vocabulary and grammar), writing and, naturally, VOX’s specialty, speaking. Through repetition of exam-like exercises in class, working through the exam will be a breeze by the end.

Though the price is higher than many other schools, the smaller class sizes and high quality of teachers make it worth it! The course scheduling is flexible and fits my working schedule well. Each teacher is different but I have had only good experiences in my A2 and B1 courses. Teachers are happy to receive feedback to help you learn in the way that is best for you.
(Translated by Google) I'm very satisfied with the course at Vox School. They have excellent instructors who are always very helpful and get you to your goal very quickly. (Original) Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Kurs an der Vox-Schule. Sie haben hervorragende Dozenten, die immer sehr hilfsbereit sind und einen sehr schnell ans Ziel bringen.
I have been going to vox from A2 High German to C1. After this course it was important for me to integrate more into the Swiss German language. I started taking private courses in swiss German and after a couple months I am starting to speak and type in swiss German to my colleagues at work which has brought about a positive impact in all of our relationships. My initial goal, even in A2, was to integrate better into swiss culture and I feel much more accepted when I try to speak swiss German even when it's not perfect. The language is not easy, but I have really enjoyed learning and practicing with my colleagues and friends. With the private tutor I am able to be very flexible with my schedule. If I have business trips we skip a week, or we can move days around as required. So overall I have had a very great and positive experience at Vox and have already recommended to 4 of my friends who are also expats to take the same courses.
(Translated by Google) When I started learning German in January of this year, I met a teacher who wasn't very happy with him at first. After a few lessons with Maxi, I realized that he had a different way of teaching. He didn't stick to the examples in the book, he wanted to explain it to us in a more practical way so that we would think about it. A very good teacher but strict, it requires us to always be active. In other words, it's great for us students. I finished the B1 course with him. Thanks Max. "I think the online lessons are good, you should have them as part of the regular offer. I would also like to do the lessons from home in the future. I have seen a lot of teachers and schools and Olga is perfect for me. Olga looks at what we all need separately and adapts to our individual wishes and that is unique. Olga is very hard-working and responds to our opinions." (Original) Als ich im Januar dieses Jahres anfing, Deutsch zu lernen, traf ich einen Lehrer, der anfangs nicht sehr zufrieden mit ihm war. Nach ein paar Stunden mit Maxi wurde mir klar, dass er eine andere Art zu unterrichten hatte. Er hielt sich nicht an die Beispiele im Buch, er wollte es uns praktischer erklären, damit wir darüber nachdenken. Ein sehr guter Lehrer, aber streng, es erfordert, dass wir immer aktiv sind. Mit anderen Worten, es ist großartig für uns Schüler. Ich habe den B1-Kurs mit ihm beendet. Danke Max. "Den Online- Unterricht finde ich gut, ihr solltet das im festen Angebot haben. Ich würde den Unterricht in Zukunft auch von zu Hause aus machen wollen. Ich habe viele Lehrer und Schulen gesehen und Olga ist perfekt für mich. Olga schaut, was wir alle separat brauchen und passt sich unseren individuellen Wünschen an und das ist einzigartig. Olga ist sehr fleissig und geht auf unsere Meinungen ein."
The school is perfectly located for cars or public transport, the administration does their best to accommodate your preferences. My teacher is competent in teaching and also preparing and understanding the structure and grading for exams.
Super flexible and a great price! I loved the course and found the teacher Ruth to be open and friendly and also very knowledgeable. Many many thanks!
Kenny Müller is an amazing teacher. He is patient, kind, and committed to each student and their learning needs. He comes prepared with many interesting activities and games, and makes learning a stress-free experience. I look forward to each class and have already learned a lot.
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 was taking individual classes and I had good teacher during the training. More focus on practical learning vs. overkill with grammar.
(Translated by Google) I really enjoyed the A1 French language course; the structure and topics were very helpful. My teacher was Ruben; he explained everything very well and always addressed the difficulties I encountered while learning. It was also clear that Ruben has an absolute passion for languages. I would take another course with Vox anytime. Thank you very much & best regards, ... (Original) Der A1 Französisch Sprachkurs hat mir gut gefallen, vom Ablauf und den Themen war es für mich sehr hilfreich. Mein Lehrer war Ruben, er hat alles sehr gut erklärt und ist stets auf die Schachstellen, welche ich beim Lernen hatte, sehr gut eingegangen. Man hat auch gemerkt das Ruben eine absolute Passion für Sprachen hat. Jederzeit würde ich nochmal einen Kurs bei Vox machen. Besten Dank & Viele Grüsse Carina
Great learning experience! I recommend this school to anybody who wants to get a step forward with his/her speaking skills. Class size of 3 to 5 students allows you to take advantage of every minute of the lessons.
The teachers are very competent (in my case Daniel and Marion) and the secretariat is very helpful and friendly. The school seems to be more expensive than others, but it is not because you will learn quickly.
