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.

(Translated by Google) The school is very professional, admittedly a bit pricey, but definitely worth the money. My B1 language teacher, Maria Fedorova, is incredibly dedicated! She explains grammar very efficiently and clearly, prioritizing the key points. She was always available to answer my questions and gave me lots of helpful tips on everyday speech. The course structure and topics are absolutely fascinating. I've really gotten excited about learning English. I highly recommend Maria! (Original) Die Schule ist sehr professionell, preislich zwar eher teurer, aber sein Geld definitiv wert. Meine Sprachlehrerin Maria Fedorova für B1 ist super engagiert! Sie erklärt Grammatik sehr effizient und klar und priorisiert. Sie war für alle meine Fragen da und gab mir viele nützliche Tipps, wie es im Alltag gesprochen wird. Kursgestaltung und Themen absolut spannend. Meine Begeisterung für‘s Englisch lernen ist entfacht. I highly recommend Maria!
The teachers are very professional, and the small class size is very useful.
Being a teacher at VOX is a very rich and joyful experience. The VOX method allows the students to get to meet a language from one of the most important sides of it – speaking. Back in the days, when I was learning English and French, a method such as the VOX-method would have helped me a lot and I would have loved to get to know it earlier. VOX provides a learning atmosphere that gives the students a chance to learn a language with a lot of motivation. One of the many advantages is also that the school is located right next to the main train station and that is very convenient both for the students and the teachers.
I have just finished my Second Course with VOX Language school in Winterthur and I will be coming back for more in Winter 2022. Olga is a fantastic teacher working through the course at a good pace. She makes sure everyone gets a chance to talk during the class and makes a really nice atmosphere. If you are thinking of doing a course don't hesitate just book it. I highly recommend Vox.
I enrolled in a German A2 individual lessons with Joline, and am very satisfied. I feel I made a lot of progress. The teacher is very flexible, kind and helpful! I strongly recommend this school!
I am so glad that I ended up with Evgeniya as my German teacher! Her lessons were really clear, very well structured and prepared, and thoughtfully tailored to my level and goals. She has an incredible way of explaining things and guiding me to understand my mistakes when speaking—I also particularly loved the warm-up poem readings and tongue twisters! Her patience, encouragement, and deep knowledge made a huge difference in my learning progress, especially when you’re learning a challenging language like German. I didn’t have the best experience when I first started—group classes and the first teacher just weren’t a good fit for me—but once I was switched to individual lessons with Evgeniya, everything changed for the better! I felt motivated, supported, and today feel like I truly progressed with my B2 level. Highly recommend Evgeniya and also VOX Schule, who really went above and beyond in ensuring that I had a great and valuable learning experience! THANK YOU!
(Translated by Google) I took an intensive online course with Ruth, who is a very professional teacher, and I'm very happy with the results. I also took the Telc B2 German exam at VOX Language School and was very pleased with the opportunity. I highly recommend it. (Original) Ich habe einen Online-Intensivkurs mit Ruth belegt, die eine sehr professionelle Lehrerin ist und ich bin sehr zufrieden mit den Ergebnissen. Ich habe auch die Deutschprüfung Telc B2 bei VOX - Sprachschule gemacht und habe mich sehr gefreut über diese Gelegenheit. Ich kann es jedem empfehlen.
(Translated by Google) I'm learning German (B2 level) at the VOX language school and I highly recommend it. Our teacher, Lise, is fantastic and makes the lessons very lively and interesting. She explains things clearly and is always happy to answer questions. I feel very comfortable in her classes and I'm learning a lot. (Original) Ich lerne an der VOX-Sprachschule Deutsch (B2) und kann die Schule nur empfehlen. Unsere Lehrerin Lise ist eine großartige Lehrerin, die den Unterricht sehr lebendig und interessant gestaltet. Sie erklärt die Themen klar und hat immer ein offenes Ohr für Fragen. Ich fühle mich in ihrem Unterricht sehr wohl und lerne viel.
Vox Language School has an amazing philosophy when it comes to teaching and language learning. The students are in the centre of attention and their needs and wants are focused on with empathy and interest. The whole team is warm and welcoming and as a teacher I especially appreciate the recognition from my students and boss. I can definitely recommend this school to anyone - students and teachers!
I did B2 German course and I absolutely recommend it. The course with Agnieszka has been amazing! Aga's teaching style is fantastic and she always manages to make learning pleasant and fun. I definitely improved my grammar skills which was what I was hoping for. One of my favorite parts is that Aga always uses examples from real life so I could implement what I had learned in the very same evening during conversations with my friends and family. That boosts motivation a lot. Plus the more 'dramatic' expressions (such as: dieser Zug ist abgefahren, hier hört der Spass auf) make it easier to remember and are fun to use afterwards. We were often asked what we would like to do more so I can't say anything was missing. I really wouldn't know how to improve the course, it was already above my expectations :)
I am super happy with my experience with VOX. The online intensive three-month course has helped me greatly, and I like how small the classes are. My teacher Anna is just fantastic! Super motivating, helpful, and truly wants us to succeed on our language journey ☺️ I highly recommend VOX
