- The examination is divided into two parts: a written section and an oral section. Candidates are required to perform tasks that encompass all skills. 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.

Great teacher and very helpful staff
Really enjoyed my classes at VOX. Florian is such a wonderful teacher who is very knowledgeable and engaging. Highly recommend!
I'm really happy with my German A2 course at VOX. From the start, they were super helpful in finding a class that fit my schedule. My teacher, Linda, is fantastic. She explains grammars and vocabularies to understand better from our perspective and just makes it easier for us to learn. She's always supportive and really cares about the students to improve. Great experience and I will come back here for my next level course!
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 had a truly exceptional experience learning German at VOX. I am incredibly satisfied with the progress I made during my course. My teacher, Evgeniya, is the reason this course was so successful for me. She is a phenomenal instructor, and I recommend her wholeheartedly! She perfectly balanced grammar exercises with practical, real-life conversational practice. My ability to speak German (Sprechen) has improved immensely thanks to her constant encouragement and well-designed activities. This was the best language learning experience I've ever had. Evgeniya's passion for teaching and her effective methods made all the difference. If you are looking to learn German, look no further! Enroll in a class with Evgeniya—you will be amazed by your own progress.
Great school
(Translated by Google) I really enjoyed the A1 French language course; the structure and topics were very helpful. My teacher was Ruben. He explained everything very well and always addressed the specific challenges I encountered while learning. It was clear that Ruben has a genuine passion for languages. I would definitely take another course with Vox. Many thanks & Best regards, Carina (Original) Der A1 Französisch Sprachkurs hat mir gut gefallen, vom Ablauf und den Themen war es für mich sehr hilfreich. Mein Lehrer war Ruben, er hat alles sehr gut erklärt und ist stets auf die Schachstellen, welche ich beim Lernen hatte, sehr gut eingegangen. Man hat auch gemerkt das Ruben eine absolute Passion für Sprachen hat. Jederzeit würde ich nochmal einen Kurs bei Vox machen. Besten Dank & Viele Grüsse Carina
(Translated by Google) The school is very professional, admittedly a bit pricey, but definitely worth the money. My B1 language teacher, Maria Fedorova, is incredibly dedicated! She explains grammar very efficiently and clearly, prioritizing the key points. She was always available to answer my questions and gave me lots of helpful tips on everyday speech. The course structure and topics are absolutely fascinating. I've really gotten excited about learning English. I highly recommend Maria! (Original) Die Schule ist sehr professionell, preislich zwar eher teurer, aber sein Geld definitiv wert. Meine Sprachlehrerin Maria Fedorova für B1 ist super engagiert! Sie erklärt Grammatik sehr effizient und klar und priorisiert. Sie war für alle meine Fragen da und gab mir viele nützliche Tipps, wie es im Alltag gesprochen wird. Kursgestaltung und Themen absolut spannend. Meine Begeisterung für‘s Englisch lernen ist entfacht. I highly recommend Maria!
Best language school in Zurich. My English and German course was exactly tailored to my needs. Cristina and Tatiana are really great teachers!
VOX Sprachschule and their teachers (shout out to Priska who has been my tutor) have always ensured that the courses I have taken were tailored to my needs, with focus on the areas that were most important to me, and always at times that suit me well. This has helped my German and Swiss German language skills tremendously.
Great team delivering high quality courses. Not that expensive for what you get in comparison of cheaper (I prefer to invest for result instead of lowering my goals for few $). I started from A1 speaking no german at all and now I'm able to speak and understand a lot. I always had 4 to 5 people in each group which is perfect to stimulate motivation and engage people. Each professor teaches well with different flavor, which enriches dramatically the learning process. I will keep going until C2 with no doubt (unless the vicissitudes of the life decide to not to). UPDATE: Booked individual lesson with Ruben in VOX Zurich to strengthen my B1 level. Enjoyed the learning process tailor made to my needs. I had blazing fast progress and I fell now confident to speak German with German speaking people. Thanks Ruben :) UPDATE (01.2024): still very good as before. I would just recommend to avoid too much online courses when booking on-site courses because having half of the people online during the course impacts significantly the experience and quality.
Very positive experience, I could see a clear improvement of my german level after doing the A2 course. Very competent teachers and a strong focus on speaking which is the best way to fill confident in actually speaking the language. I recommend!
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.
