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.

I just finished the A2 online course with Lili and could not be happier. With only 4 people in the class, there is plenty of opportunity to speak, something that is difficult in most other schools. We received great personalised feedback as this amount of students is also much more manageable for the teacher. After trying 3 other language schools online and in Zurich, this is the one I will continue my education with.
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.
(Translated by Google) I've been attending the C1 German course at VOX Language School for a month now and I'm very satisfied. My goal was to improve my spoken communication, and I'm already seeing significant progress in my fluency. Our teacher addresses our individual goals, and we're learning many useful expressions that are perfectly suited to our level. It's especially helpful that we get to practice speaking a lot in class. Highly recommended! (Original) Ich besuche seit einem Monat den C1-Deutschkurs bei VOX Sprachschule und bin sehr zufrieden. Mein Ziel war es, meine mündliche Kommunikation zu verbessern, und ich sehe bereits deutliche Fortschritte in meiner Sprachflüssigkeit. Unser Lehrer geht auf unsere persönlichen Ziele ein, und wir lernen viele nützliche Ausdrücke, die wirklich zum Niveau passen. Besonders hilfreich ist, dass wir im Unterricht viel sprechen können. Sehr empfehlenswert!
Perfect location and very good teachers. I am 11 Months with VOX now
Mila was a great German teacher!
Great german lessons which really helped me learn fast. Our teacher was excellent at explaining everything and made each lesson fun and interesting! Would definitely recommend.
Very good school! Teachers are super nice, professional, and FLEXIBLE! (What you will not get from other schools). Learning from A1 to A2, and moving forward to B1 with Vox. Totally recommend. Ps : vote Olga ;).
I have done the C1 course with the teacher named Tatiana. 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.
Teachers are great, and the small group size makes sure the classes remain interactive and you are engaged all the time
Amazing experience with VOX completing A1 course in Deutsch. The teacher Joline was incredible, I would give 10 stars if I could. She is extremely patient, supportive, and always creates a comfortable learning environment where it feels safe to make mistakes and ask questions. Her lessons are well-structured, engaging, and tailored to my level and learning goals. What I appreciated most is how clearly she explains grammar and provide practical examples that make it easier to understand and remember. She also really encourages speaking practice, which helped me gain confidence and improve my standard that much faster. Overall, I highly recommend this teacher to anyone looking for a professional, motivating, and friendly German language instructor.
The Vox-languageschool Winterthur gave me a lot of grounding in my English language. I feel very safe for my future exams. I am very grateful to my teacher Leah Bearns, who prepared me very well in all facets of the B1 exam. I would recommend the Vox School to everyone.
High recommendation for VOX-Sprachschule. Everything from the begging, from application to the scheduling the classes and alignment on all the steps are perfectly organized. The classes are always on time, teachers well prepared and school really pays attention to all the details. I took German A1 and A2 courses and teachers Franciska and Philip after were amazing . Going beyond the limits, explaining all in details and really encourage me and the other attendee of the course to go further and give our best. Highly recommended this school and thanks for all support and effort that you are putting into learning of the languages.
