Course Description
You have just finished your language course and would now like to practice using your newly attained knowledge actively? At VOX, we offer conversation lessons for people who have already reached B1 level or higher. These courses are specifically designed for practicing precise but also flexible speaking in your target language. For a total of 3 months, conversation classes take place once per week, focusing on 12 different topics. In order to practice a wide range of vocabulary, conversation courses not only include everyday topics such as your hobbies and your favourite restaurants, but also fundamental topics of the 21st century such as technological development and the role of religion in modern society. Additionally, our teacher will help you use your vocabulary in a precise and correct manner, while also supporting you with extra material in case of grammatical challenges.

You may be interested in other language courses in Zurich Central. We will help you to speak fluently not only English!I am taking an A2 class and I can see that I am making good progress. The teacher (Yvonne) always comes to class well-prepared, and she explains things clearly. Our homework is corrected carefully with helpful comments. I also enjoy the small class size and the interactions with other students. Overall, a terrific course!
I have a pleasure to be a student of Isabelle and it’s the best language learning experience I have ever got. Professionalism, passion, friendliness, openness, effectiveness! I highly recommend!
I had the privilege to meet my teachers Kenny and Alex and learn German in a proactive and fun way. They inspired me to continously improve my german skills and not be afraid of speaking a new language. They always accommodated with the needs of the students and really emerge us in the culture and language. I recommend VOX to anybody that wants to learn German.
I had a German A1 course in Vox, with Yelyzaveta Berezovska as a teacher. I am very satisfied with Elly's teaching approach. She was paying attention to each student's progress and helped us overcome the difficulties that we had with the material. The classes were structured well with short repetitions of the previously learned material, then learning new material, summarising what we had learned at the end of each class, and setting homework assignments. Besides following the workbook, there were a lot of interactive exercises that Elly had prepared herself, that challenged us to practice what we had learned. Also a lot of out of the book homework in addition. I had the feeling that I was progressing after each class. The workbook "Sprachniveau A1+ Begegnungen, Deutsch als Fremdsprache" by Anne Buscha and Szilvia Szita we used in the class was structured and thought through extremely well. What I like about the school is that there is an option to visit the classes online. This is really convenient not to miss classes when traveling. The online courses worked surprisingly well, as the school classrooms are equipped for online teaching as well and Elly was making sure that you feel like you are really in the classroom. The team in Vox was really collaborative and helpful. The location of the school on Central was very convenient.
It was a wonderful experience!
Teachers are great, and the small group size makes sure the classes remain interactive and you are engaged all the time
(Translated by Google) Freundlich, zielgerichtet, zuverlässig, creativity und mit Freude am Werk. Habe wohl Privatunterricht bei der optimalen Lehrerin (I) gebucht. Friendly, purposeful, reliable, serious but not too much, a creative force and with a lot of pleasure at work. I probably booked private lessons with an optimal teacher. (Original) Freundlich, zielgerichtet, zuverlässig, kreativ und mit Freude am Werk. Habe wohl Privatunterricht bei der optimalen Lehrerin (I) gebucht. Amichevole, finalizzata, affidabile, seria ma non troppo, una forza creativa e con molto piacere sul lavoro. Probabilmente ho prenotato lezioni private con una insegnante ottimale.
Great school, I definitely recommend it !
(Translated by Google) Everything was very good, especially the teacher Leonie. She takes classes seriously and tries to teach everyone. The only criticism I can give is the room, which was very small. The room is on the 5th floor, room 6. Finally, I would like to thank you for the fair costs. Kind regards Yasin (Original) Alles war sehr gut, insbesondere die Lehrerin Leonie. Sie nimmt den Unterricht ernst und versucht, alle beizubringen. Kritik kann ich nur über den Raum nennen, der sehr klein war. Der Raum ist im 5.Stock Zimmer 6. Ich bedanke mich bei Ihnen schliesslich für die faire Kosten. Lieben Gruss Yasin
(Translated by Google) I took the A1 module with teacher Yana and she is certainly the best of all!! The school's method is very rushed, which means it is not for everyone, but with Yana's classes twice a week, I felt very encouraged to speak the language (German), and her teaching method is also excellent. All the teachers have linguistic knowledge. (Original) Fiz o módulo A1 com a professora Yana e certamente é a melhor de todas!! O método da escola é bem corrido, o que significa que não é para qualquer um, mas com as aulas da Yana duas vezes por semana, me senti muito estimulada a falar o idioma (alemão), além da didática dela ser ótima. Conhecimento linguístico todos os professores têm.
(Translated by Google) The VOX school is recommended and has very good, committed teachers. (Original) Die VOX Schule ist empfehlenswert, hat sehr gute, engagierte Lehrer.
Review from my partner Kathleen Izzat I do feel that I am moving towards my goals with this language course and there is enough speaking practice. The lessons are interesting and Priska is very friendly and patient, often encouraging the students to find or to work out the correct answer by ourselves initially, then using help from co-students before stepping in to assist and advise. We are given plenty of relevant, everyday examples of the language in use and are supported well when we try to use German to describe our own experiences and thoughts. Looking back through the course book I can see that the new information being provided very cleverly flows throughout each chapter, as well as from chapter to chapter - it’s a well written course book. I would however, as a memory aid, prefer the book to be more colourful (for example, as in Hueber’s Schritte plus series) but that’s just my own preference. It’s not a problem though and it forces me to make my own notes, but that does take up a lot of home time on this intensive course. Overall though I am very pleased with this course
