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 may be interested in other language courses in Zurich Central. We will help you to speak fluently not only German!I took some swiss-german courses with Silvan per Zoom. It was perfect, efficient, well organised. This school has very friendly teachers. Recommanded.
Took a 1-1 course to prepare for the German C1 exam and I passed. Teacher Larissa was encouraging the whole time.
Highly recommend it!!
I am very satisfied with my A1 course with Kristina
For professional reasons, I enrolled in the course with a ''private'' teacher, Joline. My goal was to be able to erase some mistakes I kept repeating and to hone my skills in dative and accusative. The course was useful, I saw progress in a short time as well as finding a professional, friendly and flexible instructor(Time). I can recommend the course
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
I did the online Zoom VOX German A1 course and I am glad I did. I learned a lot from the course and despite my initial reservations in paying to do the course I am very glad I did because I learned a lot more this way. The teacher Alice was excellent throughout and always on hand to help out; she explained things clearly and was lways open to questions . What I thought was very good was she emails us the lesson in a pdf after the lesson and I have the 24 lessons we did and I can easily go back through the material easily again. When I am ready, I will do my A2 with Vox again and hopefully the same teacher, Alice.
My learning experience at Vox Sprach Schule with Mr. Björn as my teacher has been extremely positive to date. Within a short timeframe, I have increased my knowledge towards new vocabulary and gained a good understanding of constructing the German grammar. As a result, I am more confident to communicate in public. Equally, I understand more of what I read and hear too. Mr. Björn is always very well prepared, organised and focused. His teaching style is methodical and presented with a lot of attention to detail. He provides me a wide range of solutions, “tips and tricks” to memorise new words, alternative words, and explains different ways on how to best apply them. He does a lot of repetition and provides a lot of examples in the class to make sure that I have thoroughly understood the syllables before moving on to the next lesson. Above all, he does extensive helpful notes which are customised and prepared simultaneously during each class. I receive these notes shortly after every class, and they help me to study at home. The atmosphere in the class is very friendly and comfortable. Although I was nervous at first, I am very relaxed with my learning experience and look forward to attend each class with much enthusiasm. Vox Sprach Schule is very well located and maintained to high standards. The administration team has been extremely helpful and flexible towards accommodating my requests in order to ensure my learning experience is productive. I sincerely appreciate, and thank Vox Sprach Schule for placing Mr. Björn as my German teacher as I gave progressed a lot under his guidance. I look forward to continue my education with the same team and highly recommend them to anyone looking to learn a new language in Switzerland. D.A Pollocks Student.
I have tried other schools before but I felt confident to start speaking in Vox-Sprachschule lessons. I really took advantage of the learning time trying to comunicate in German. That was possible thanks to Polina, an amazing teacher, super dinamic, with strong focus on speaking and without loosing the joy and fun while learning. Also the school is very flexible to attend students needs. Unspected, i needed to change shifts and there was an option so they solved it really fast. I would really like to continue my learning there!
(Translated by Google) In addition to a central location and a motivated and qualified team, Vox offers a results-oriented method that quickly leads to speaking fluency. This approach was new to me as both a teacher and a student, and I was immediately impressed. (Original) Neben einem zentralen Standort und einem motivierten und qualifizierten Team, bietet Vox eine ergebnisbezogene Methode, welche schnell zum Sprechen führt. Dieser Ansatz war für mich als Lehrer sowie als Schüler neu und hat mich auf Anhieb begeistert.
(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 commend my teacher, Vera: she's not only incredibly friendly but also unbelievably dedicated. 🫶🏽 She explains things patiently and clearly, takes time for questions even outside of official class hours, and shares engaging exercises and additional materials via chat. I'm very grateful for my significant learning progress and would gladly return anytime, preferably with Vera again! 🙏 (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 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!
