Flexible Norwegian Courses at Zurich Central

I highly recommend taking your German classes at VOX. And even more so I recommend requesting Alexander Lips as your teacher. Over the last year or so I've taken a few classes with Alexander (B1, B2, C1) and I've waited to make a review as I've been gate keeping his greatness. He is the best language instructor I've ever had and the most passionate. It is hard to stay motivated to study a language and it's hard to attend an evening course after work. But this isn't the case in Alexander's class. His expertise is inspiring. The course was completely tailored to our goals and our motivations. We explored poetry, books and presentations, all of which was frankly fun and enriching. We learned grammar, practiced speaking and reading, all while learning about history and art. I can also say I've read two books in German now which is super satisfying and it also gives me more to talk about to my friends in German. If anything I wish I had more time to learn and take advantage of Alexander's great instruction. Another very unique skill of Alexander's is his deep understanding of etymology and applying the skill to make words stick in your mind. He can break down words into components to then make connections to others words, languages, history, or stories. He shows the patterns to look for to do the same. There are words I'll never forget because he took the time to really give us the depth of the word. Such a talent to have! Huge thank you to VOX for such great organization and a huge thank you to Alexander for all the work and care he puts in his instruction. So, if you've read to here you should really go register already for a course!

Currently studying Deutsch-A1 in this school. There is focus on speaking,which helps you to learn fast, groups are small, which means focus on everyone and there is attention to student's specific language needs. No experience of other schools and classes but i like what i am getting and learning.

(Translated by Google) I really liked the course. Our teacher Leah responded very well to our goals and needs and managed to reconcile them. I made the most progress in speaking. The many conversations during the lessons have enabled me to speak more fluently and have expanded my active vocabulary. With Leah we often looked at the origin of words, the exact meaning and the “area of ​​use” of new words, which made it much easier for me to remember and understand them. Leah's attentive and personable way of teaching suited me very well. I would go to her class again in a heartbeat. I can't immediately think of anything that could have been done better, except perhaps that we didn't receive the books until the middle of the course, which firstly wasn't your fault and secondly wasn't that much of a problem. Leah managed it great :) (Original) Der Kurs hat mir richtig gut gefallen. Unsere Lehrerin Leah ist super auf unsere Ziele und Bedürfnisse eingegangen und hat es geschafft diese unter einen Hut zu bringen. Den grössten Fortschritt habe ich beim Sprechen gemacht. Die vielen Unterhaltungen während den Lektionen haben es mir ermöglicht nun einiges fliessender sprechen zu können und hat meinen aktiven Wortschatz erweitert. Wir haben mit Leah oft die Wortherkunft, die genaue Bedeutung und den „Verwendungsbereich“ von neuen Vokabeln angeschaut, was es mir enorm erleichtert hat mir diese zu merken und zu verstehen. Leahs aufmerksame und sympathische Art zu unterrichten hat sehr gut zu mir gepasst. Ich würde sofort wieder zu ihr in den Unterricht gehen. Gerade spontan kommt mir nichts in den Sinn, das man hätte besser machen können, ausser vielleicht dass wir die Bücher erst Mitte des Kurses erhalten haben, was erstens nicht euer Fehler war und zweitens gar nicht so gestört hat. Leah hat das super gemanagt :)

Great teacher and very helpful staff

(Translated by Google) The school is centrally located and the rooms are nicely furnished. My teacher is very competent and motivating. Although it demands a lot, it is fun and very educational, so the lesson usually flies by far too quickly. (Original) Die Schule ist zentral gelegen und die Räume sind schön eingerichtet. Meine Lehrperson ist sehr kompetent und motivierend. Obwohl sie viel fordert, macht es Spass und ist sehr lehrreich, so dass die Stunde meist viel zu schnell verfliegt.

Very small group class and lots of interaction with a teacher. It is great opportunity not only improving your language skills, but also communication skills and meet amazing people. Whenever you have questions you always can easily reach to your teacher. If you are looking for a lot of interaction in a class and would like to improve your communication skill, this is the best school for that!

Had the best learning experience here! Was very lucky to be assigned to class of 2 students (including me) and have Kenny as my teacher here for my A1 class who make each class so fun and not as hard as i thought (not to mention he studies linguistic and multiple languange too, so he's super knowledgable and knows how to explain things from different POV of languanges). Location of the school is very strategic, only 7-8 mins walking distance from station. Classroom always tidy and nice. Love!

Here is my honest review of VOX Sprachschule Winterthur: I have taken two courses (B1 and B2 German) with Vox and I have had a very positive experience so far. I have recommended Vox to a close friend of mine as well. My teachers at Vox were some of the best I’ve had. Each lesson plan is organised, the class sizes are small, and the teachers are highly educated. I am currently taking B2 German with Daniel M. The lessons are organised and structured letting you know which concepts are covered. This makes it easy to look back and practice on your own. My teacher does a great job breaking down German grammar principles into simple components and explaining the rules involved in sentence structure and conversation. My language acquisition is quicker and easier thanks to this method of teaching. He pays extra attention to making sure your pronunciation is correct when speaking. This has improved my communication skills greatly. The reading, writing, and conversational exercises are very helpful. Overall this course continues to give me the tools to become fluent in German. I have previously taken B1 with VOX as well, and I was also impressed with my former teacher, Alys B.-C. We learned in a structured yet stress-free manner. It was easy to speak to my other classmates online. I appreciated the instructor's detailed notes, conversation, handouts, and written exercises. I would definitely take another Vox class again. It is worth the price. The teachers are supportive and you can e-mail them outside of class time. The school is flexible so working and learning is not a problem. The staff checks in with you to make sure your feedback about your class is taken into consideration. My understanding of German has vastly improved. My ability to read, write, and speak are much better than before. Overall Vox Sprachschule Winterthur gets a 5/5 for me.

Really enjoyed my time studying at Vox with 'one to one' lessons. My schedule was somewhat hectic and Vox were extremely accommodating and organised individual lessons. The teacher, Florian Leu, was great and extremely patient with me. I really benefitted from my time spent at Vox and will certainly undertake more lessons.

Great experience and amazing quality of teaching. I had the opportunity to follow A2-level lessons for German with Cristina Kaiser. I was amazed by her detailed knowledge of the Language, desire to share it, and ability to make the subject and material stimulating and interesting.

(Translated by Google) I took an individual course in French to prepare myself optimally for my bilingual studies. My teacher Alex was very friendly, competent and motivating! Unfortunately, due to the change of residence, the course duration was limited to 8 weeks - otherwise I would have liked to continue! (Original) Ich hatte einen Individualkurs in Französisch, um mich optimal für mein zweisprachiges Studium vorzubereiten. Mein Lehrer Alex war sehr freundlich, kompetent und motivierend! Durch den Wohnortwechsel war die Kurszeit leider auf 8 Wochen beschränkt - sonst hätte ich gerne weitergemacht!

I am taking level B1 with Björn and he is great! He is friendly and very professional: his explanations are clear and kind, he is very energetic and has always a clear path to follow in the classroom. Very recommended!
