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.

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!Had the best learning experience here! Was very lucky to be assigned to class of 2 students (including me) and have Kenny as my teacher here for my A1 class who make each class so fun and not as hard as i thought (not to mention he studies linguistic and multiple languange too, so he's super knowledgable and knows how to explain things from different POV of languanges). Location of the school is very strategic, only 7-8 mins walking distance from station. Classroom always tidy and nice. Love!
Had such a good experience with VOX. I e-mailed them very last-minute and they were able to get me in to lessons extremely quickly and were very prompt in their replies. My teacher, Isabelle, has been amazing - I have progressed extremely quickly under her guidance, and have had a great deal of fun doing it. I would wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend her and VOX.
I had an amazing teacher Paolina who tailored the lessons to meet my needs and strengthened my weaker areas. She also gave tips on how to master the language and we had lots of speaking practice which has greatly increased my German speaking confidence. My best language learning school experience so far👏🏾
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.
Last spring I enrolled to the B1 German course in a team of five and Alexander Lips as our teacher. I am very happy with my decision and I can definitely recommend it. Alexander is a great teacher with a lot of knowledge and experience. He was very supportive throughout the course and he always encouraged me to speak more and corrected my mistakes in a constructive way. He also gave me useful tips and tricks on how to pronounce words correctly and how to avoid common errors. He made the lessons fun and engaging by using different materials and activities. Alexander also explained the grammar rules clearly and thoroughly. He used simple and easy-to-understand examples to illustrate the concepts and showed me how to apply them in different contexts. He also provided me with exercises and homework to practice what I learned and to reinforce my knowledge. He always checked my answers and gave me feedback on how to improve them. Our teacher was also very flexible and responsive to our needs. He asked us what our goals and expectations were at the beginning of the course and tailored the lessons accordingly. He also regularly asked us if we had any questions or suggestions and adjusted the pace and content of the lessons based on our feedback. I would highly recommend this German course to anyone who wants to learn or improve their German skills. Alexander is a professional and great teacher who knows how to teach the language effectively and enjoyably. He helped me achieve my learning objectives and made me feel more confident and comfortable in speaking and understanding German. He is one of the best teachers I have ever had.
I’ve just finished the A1 high German course with Elly as my teacher. The classes and homework were not only very effective, but also fun. Going to evening class is one of my favorite parts of the workweek. I highly recommend vox, especially if Elly is the teacher
As someone with learning difficulties I find languages very difficult. I have private lessons in person and Fabian, my teacher, has helped so much in all aspects of my German. The lessons are interesting, fun and after a few years struggling to improve I have finally seen a difference. If you are looking for in person lessons I can heartily recommend
Have taken A1 online course from VOX and the quality of the teachers as well as the course content is great.
(Translated by Google) An excellent place to learn, very kind and professional people who provide you with all the necessary support, a very good option without a doubt! (Original) Un lugar excelente para aprender, personas muy amables y profesionales que te brindan todo el apoyo necesario, una muy buena opción sin duda alguna!
Great location and very professional and motivated teachers. Have been going there for a year now and can totally recommend it!
Vox school is in the complex well organized and offers both private lessons and small-group lessons. I liked also the possibility to attend the course online, that makes it even more flexible and gives you the possibility to attend the course from anywhere. I think that one of the advantages of the school is that the teachers are very well prepared. I am enjoying my German course with Larissa, she is very professional and she has very good teaching skills. I also appreciate that she prepares the class in advance and that she always prepare for me a summary of each lesson, that is very helpful for the learning process. Because of my experience, I strongly recommend Vox school.
I have just completed A1 German intensive with Ruben and I have to say, it really makes a difference when you have a teacher who is truly passionate about what they are teaching. The course felt well organised and I felt comfortable making mistakes (lots of them!) I would highly recommend this course for beginners as it gives you a great base line and understanding of how the language works. Danke Ruben & VOX
