The receptive component involves reading, listening, and language comprehension. Tasks may include multiple-choice questions or matching exercises. In the productive segment, which includes writing and speaking, candidates respond to prompts and express themselves either in written form or orally. During the oral examination, the emphasis is on direct interaction between candidates.

(Translated by Google) I wholeheartedly recommend this school. I've been teaching at Vox for two years now and I find the entire team incredibly dedicated. They always strive to find solutions for both language learners and teachers, without being afraid to forge their own path as a language school and to invent and offer new models. I enjoy being part of it! (Original) Ich empfehle diese Schule von ganzem Herzen. Bereits 2 Jahre unterrichte ich jetzt bei Vox und finde, dass das ganze Team mit grossem Einsatz arbeitet. Es wird immer versucht, Lösungen für die Sprachlernenden sowie für die Lehrenden zu finden, ohne Angst, als Sprachschule einen eigenen Weg zu gehen und neue Modelle zu erfinden und anzubieten. Mir macht es Freude, hier mitzuwirken!
Great experience. Teachers are way above any expectation and teaching method is simple effective. Merci
(Translated by Google) "Excellent French lessons with Camille! I can recommend VOX, both for the location and the quality of the teaching." (Original) "Excellents cours de français avec Camille ! Je peux recommander VOX, tant pour l'emplacement que pour la qualité de l'enseignement."
(Translated by Google) The course is incredible. It helps to learn and understand the German language in every respect. (Original) Der Kurs ist unglaublich. Es hilft die deutsche Sprache in jeder Hinsicht zu lernen und zu verstehen.
I'm on my second course learning German with vox and enjoying every minute of it! Had 3 different teachers so far and each of them have been super knowledgeable and bring a clear structure to the course, while also keeping an eye on the progress of the students, making sure that they are understanding the topics. Definitely recommend.
Good and a very dedicated teacher Andersen
Most excellent place to learn German I have found. Good mix of teaching and speaking practice.
(Translated by Google) I really enjoyed the lessons with Tatiana. I looked forward to every lesson with her and would definitely recommend her. She tailors the lessons very individually and responds spontaneously when we've talked about other topics. I had a great time and hope to continue the course in the spring. We laughed a lot, and for me, having fun is the most important thing for learning. (Original) Ich fand den Unterricht mit Tatiana super. Habe mich auf jede Lektion mit ihr gefreut und würde euch auf jeden Fall weiterempfehlen. Sie gestaltet den Unterricht sehr individuell und reagiert spontan wenn wir über andere Themen gesprochen haben. Ich hatte eine tolle Zeit und hoffe den Kurs im Frühling noch weiterführen zu können. Wir haben viel gelacht und für mich ist Spass das wichtigste um zu lernen
(Translated by Google) Within a very short time, I learned the basics of Spanish at VOX and had a lot of fun! My teacher tailored the approach and content to my needs, which made learning a new language easier and kept my interest and motivation high. The school also boasts a very central location and great flexibility in scheduling – overall, I'm very satisfied :) (Original) Innerhalb von sehr kurzer Zeit lernte ich an der VOX die Grundzüge der spanischen Sprache und hatte dabei eine ganze Menge Spass! Meine Lehrerin hat die Vorgehensweise und Inhalte stark auf meine Bedürfnisse angepasst, was den Einstieg in eine neue Sprache einerseits erleichtert und das Interesse & Motivation hoch hält. Die Schule punktet zudem mit einem sehr zentralen Standort und hoher Flexibilität bei der Organisation der Termine - insgesamt bin ich sehr zufrieden :)
(Translated by Google) Freundlich, zielgerichtet, zuverlässig, creativity und mit Freude am Werk. Habe wohl Privatunterricht bei der optimalen Lehrerin (I) gebucht. Friendly, purposeful, reliable, serious but not too much, a creative force and with a lot of pleasure at work. I probably booked private lessons with an optimal teacher. (Original) Freundlich, zielgerichtet, zuverlässig, kreativ und mit Freude am Werk. Habe wohl Privatunterricht bei der optimalen Lehrerin (I) gebucht. Amichevole, finalizzata, affidabile, seria ma non troppo, una forza creativa e con molto piacere sul lavoro. Probabilmente ho prenotato lezioni private con una insegnante ottimale.
(Translated by Google) "I'm very happy with my experience at the vox language school! The teacher, Joline, is professional and friendly, and the teaching method is effective. The lessons were interesting and informative, and I was able to significantly improve my German. Thank you! 🤗" (Original) "Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit meiner Erfahrung bei der vox-Sprachschule! Die Lehrerin Joline ist professionell und freundlich, und die Unterrichtsmethode ist effektiv. Die Stunden waren interessant und lehrreich, und ich konnte mein Deutsch deutlich verbessern. Danke!🤗
Great place to learn German. The teachers and the admin team do a great job of creating a very personalised experience. May seem expensive at first sight but you should consider that Vox do one level (A1, A2 etc.) as one course, rather than dividing a level into 3 courses as other schools do.
Quality teaching
Languages
For every language we teach at VOX-Sprachschule, we focus on speaking, as it is the most natural form of communication. Many people concentrate on writing and reading, which prevents them from feeling like they are making progress in their target language. We try to approach this learning process differently: when you train yourself to speak first, grammar simply becomes a tool to support you in your language-learning journey. Reading and writing should come naturally, while speaking needs to be practiced at least 15 minutes a day.
