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.

Our sole aim was to pass the B1 Goethe test in all modules. Yvonne Vogt was our teacher and she was simply brilliant! Yvonne ordered the right materials for us starting from the textbooks to exercises to model exams. She even conducted mock exams for us on the hearing and speaking modules. Both my wife and I passed all modules with high scores. Thank you Yvonne and Vox!
Evgeniya led our B2 German course for the first two weeks, while our main teacher was on holiday. I was very impressed by her knowledge and attention to detail, and I very much appreciated her friendly and approachable manner. I expect our next teacher from VOX will be excellent as well, but I will miss her and hope I have the chance to learn from her again at some point!
Great language school with amazing teachers! I can especially recommended Sabrina and Felicity, both very professional and friendly, explain everything in a great detail, encourage to talk and help you to pronounce words correctly. The admin staff also very accommodating and helpful.

(Translated by Google) I’m just an ordinary person who enjoys exploring Google Street View. At first, I only wanted to see if there were any Street View images of the Central Polybahn (the funicular station platform). By chance, I clicked into this place and discovered something really fun. I have to say—it’s incredibly creative! Even though I live far away in Asia, I still find this so refreshing and delightful. Truly a wonderful idea! I’m just someone who enjoys browsing on Google Street View. I actually just wanted to see if there were any pictures of the Central Polybahn platform—and then I landed here by chance. Really funny and super creative! Even though I live far away in Asia, I find this totally refreshing and somehow really beautiful.
