Individualized learning experience in a small group of 3-5 participants
High quality Chinese courses in the heart of the city, taught by teachers with a university background in linguistics.
Many people struggle to learn Chinese due to psychological barriers preventing them from actively speaking. At VOX-Sprachschule, we have developed a methodology that grants you the possibility to overcome whatever difficulties you may encounter when looking for the most efficient way to learn how to speak. Our teachers will constantly pay attention to your individual learning needs, which is guaranteed to make your experience at VOX-Sprachschule a success story.
Speaking is the most natural function of language. The same way you can only learn to play an instrument by actively practicing, you can only learn to speak a language by speaking - not by listening, reading, or writing. Once the connections between your brain and the muscles responsible for speech have been trained, you can create beautifully sounding sentences. At VOX-Sprachschule, you will learn to actively speak - understanding, reading, and writing will follow easily.

(Translated by Google) Very happy with the classes at VOX Sprachschule. Nice and professional teacher. Course in small groups. I recommend. (Original) Très content des cours effectués auprès de VOX Sprachschule. Professeure sympa et professionnelle. Cours en petits groupes. Je recommande.
The course is going very well, Olga is a great teacher. I'm generally quite happy with the online option, although I prefer face to face. Olga adapts to my needs, corrects my errors spotting. She does her job well and I am making progress.
I started learning german 1:1 with Kristina before COVID hit and everything was forced to close, I've been really impressed how quickly Vox set everything up for me to be able to continue my studies remotely via Zoom. I'm able to use my time productively and continue learning German. Thanks for everything! Darragh
Most excellent place to learn German I have found. Good mix of teaching and speaking practice.
Great teacher and very helpful staff
(Translated by Google) Great school - courteous, flexible and understanding. Very great, very qualified teaching program !! In short, this school does not need advertising - its results speak for themselves👍👌 we can only recommend the school. Thank you for the commitment and the great experience at how easy and intensive it is to learn the German language at your school. Great praise! (Original) Ganz tolle Schule - zuvorkommend, flexibel und verständnisvoll. Ganz tolles, sehr qualifiziertes Lehrprrsonal!! Kurz-diese Schule braucht keine Werbung - ihre Ergebnisse sprechen für sich👍👌wir können die Schule nur weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank für das Engagement und die tolle Erfahrung, wie einfach und doch intensiv die deutsche Sprache zu erlernen ist an Ihrer Schule. Grosses Lob!
I came to this school with 0 knowledge of German. I was very nervous at the beginning but the teachers at this school are so welcoming and really make you feel at ease. I especially find Christina's teaching approach really great and feel Ive learnt so much in her classes (both private and joint classes). I couldn't recommend this school enough!
They are best in their profession!!!
I really like the school. It is organized, my teacher is really good (almost no English during the German class) and there are maximum 5 studens per class, which is important for the learning process.
Ich bin zufrieden mit dem Kurs. Am besten hat mir die Flexibilität gefallen. Ich hoffe, ich bin meinem Ziel genug nah, um die Prüfung im C1 zu bestehen. Spontan fällt mir nichts ein, was Sie hätten besser machen können. Deshalb: Daumen hoch!!
Great experience. Followed the B1 German course during Corona time and I am impressed by the flexibility of the school and the teacher Priska. The general quality of the course is very good and very personal. Priska is a great teacher - and will definitely recommend her and Vox schule! Thanks! Pieter Laban
