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.

We will help you to speak fluently not only German!I have taken two classes with Isabel - b1 and b2 German and i have been very happy with both. She’s an excellent and compassionate teacher. I like the emphasis on communication - reading, writing and speaking. I like the online format, and the teaching materials. I‘ve learned a lot and will consider a Vox class when I continue.
(Translated by Google) The language school has a great location, beautiful classrooms, and our French teacher, Florian, is highly recommended. The conversation lessons are very informative and varied, and he caters to the needs of the participants. I highly recommend him! (Original) Die Sprachschule hat eine super läge, schöne Räume und unser Französischlehrer Florian ist sehr zu empfehlen. Die Konversationsstunden sind sehr lehrreich, gleichzeitig abwechslungsreich und er geht auf die Wünsche der Teilnehmer ein. Kann ihn sehr empfehlen!
I had the pleasure of attending both a group course and individual private lesson with Vox Sprache. In both cases, I had the opportunity to practise and improve my speaking skills. There is difference between learning theory and actually articulating the language. I like to share that my private lessons with Isabelle have been such a positive experience. She prepared and tailored the lessons specifically for my needs. She was consistently attentive to help me improve my language skills. As a result of this experience, I feel more comfortable communicating with native speakers and better prepared for my B1 mündlichen Prüfung. Thank you Isabelle for not only teaching me but also motivating me throughout the course. Your passion for teaching is filter through in every lesson. Thank you.
(Translated by Google) I really like the Swiss German course at Vox with Nataly. The usual dull memorization and processing of tasks according to textbooks is completely eliminated. Rather, emphasis is placed on daily application and Nataly pays great attention to pronunciation and includes appropriate teaching materials and exercise variants depending on individual difficulties. It's a class that's fun and where I feel like I'm in good hands. I would be happy to recommend the Vox language school. (Original) Der schweizerdeutsch Kurs bei Vox mit Nataly gefällt mir sehr. Das übliche stumpfe Auswendiglernen und Bearbeiten von Aufgaben nach Lehrbuch entfällt völlig. Vielmehr wird Wert auf die tägliche Anwendung gelegt und da achtet Nataly sehr auf die Aussprache und bindet je nach individuellen Schwierigkeiten entsprechende Lehrunterlagen und Übungsvarianten ein. Es ist ein Unterricht, der Spass macht und wo ich mich gut aufgehoben fühle. Gerne empfehle ich die Vox Sprachenschule weiter.
(Translated by Google) Registration and planning at the Vox Language School in Winterthur was completely straightforward – very professional and well-organized. I'd especially like to mention my teacher, Vera: She's not only extremely personable, but also incredibly dedicated. 🫶🏽 She explains things patiently and clearly, takes time for questions even outside of class time, and shares exciting exercises and additional material via chat. I'm very grateful for my tremendous learning success and would be happy to come back anytime, preferably with Vera! 🙏 (Original) Die Anmeldung und Planung bei der Vox Sprachschule in Winterthur verlief völlig unkompliziert – sehr professionell und gut organisiert. Besonders hervorheben möchte ich meine Lehrperson Vera: Sie ist nicht nur ausgesprochen sympathisch, sondern auch unglaublich engagiert. 🫶🏽 Sie erklärt geduldig und verständlich, nimmt sich auch ausserhalb der offiziellen Unterrichtszeit Zeit für Fragen und teilt spannende Übungen und Zusatzmaterial über den Chat. Ich bin sehr dankbar für den grossen Lernerfolg und komme jederzeit gerne wieder am liebsten wieder mit Vera! 🙏

I had my lesson with Elly and she was super patient and help us to get us the AHA moment when comes to learning German. I especially enjoyed her lesson because we are not allow to speak english (most time) during her lesson, which helped us tremendously on german speaking skill 🤩🥰 really hope I can come back to her lesson at some point😭❤️🔥
Great experience. Followed the B1 German course during Corona time and I am impressed by the flexibility of the school and the teacher Priska. The general quality of the course is very good and very personal. Priska is a great teacher - and will definitely recommend her and Vox schule! Thanks! Pieter Laban
(Translated by Google) Very good teacher and explains wonderfully, thank you, I recommend it. (Original) Muy buena profesora y explica estupendamente gracias lo recomiendo
I am very happy with the teaching method of this school. Before I started to learn German with this method, I had been learning German already two years. Nevertheless I didn't feel power to communicate, not even talking about passing the exam in order to receive permit C. And with the method of this school I only needed one and a half months and I passed the exam with 85% out of 100%. I started to talk to people. I started to understand cases and genders. Rules of the German language no longer scare me. It all became like a game for me. And my learning now goes on, ones you understand the method, you can continue learning all the time. I recommend this school very much. And if I decide to learn some other language more, I will absolutely go only to this language school.
I was taking individual classes and I had good teacher during the training. More focus on practical learning vs. overkill with grammar.
