(Translated by Google) I am very satisfied with the school's performance and can highly recommend it. I had the opportunity to work with Isabelle Wegmüller and Isabel Paraguassu, with whom I learned a great deal and made significant progress. The school's administrative team is dedicated, attentive, and flexible. It was perfect! (Original) Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit den Leistungen der Schule und kann sie nur empfehlen. Ich hatte die Gelegenheit, mit Isabelle Wegmüller und Isabel Paraguassu zu arbeiten, mit denen ich viel gelernt und Fortschritte gemacht habe. Das Verwaltungsteam der Schule ist engagiert, aufmerksam und flexibel. Das war perfekt !
My experience with VOX has been overall very positive and I cannot stress enough how their format of teaching to a maximum of 4 people at a time helps students developing their linguistic skills faster: you have more time to speak, to ask questions and to interact with your co-students. Isabelle has been a fantastic teacher. I attended A1 and A2 German courses with her. She was always ready to help whenever I needed assistance and answered my questions super quickly every time. She also pushed me and motivated me constantly. Herzlichen Dank Isabelle!!
I took some swiss-german courses with Silvan per Zoom. It was perfect, efficient, well organised. This school has very friendly teachers. Recommanded.
Great flexibility, professional teachers, smooth and pleasant admin. After searching both in CH and abroad, I decided for this school because of their personalized and flexible approach, competitive price and the lessons turned out to be at a very high standard (online private lessons for me - super efficient). Thank you!
I took the standard B1 level class (Dienstag und Donnerstag Abendkurs) with Elena. She was a wonderful teacher and taught the grammar rules in a way I really understood. She also consistently corrected my Aussprache, which I appreciated (strong American accent here). Moreover, I was thankful for her help with my special request to prepare me for the Telc B1 test. Furthermore, I liked the availability of the Abendkurs (19:30-21:00) because I was able to attend after work. The standard class also covered a lot of material in 3 months. I recommend it if you can dedicate a generous amount of time to study.
(Translated by Google) I attended the B2 German course in Winterthur and enjoyed it very much. Although the course is expensive, it is also efficient. The teaching method is suitable for every student and truly contributes to progress in the language. The teachers are competent and engaging. (Original) Ich habe den Deutschkurs B2 in Winterthur besucht und es hat mir sehr gut gefallen. Obwohl der Kurs teuer ist, ist er auch effizient. Die Unterrichtsmethode ist für jeden Schüler geeignet und trägt wirklich zum Fortschritt in der Sprache bei. Die Lehrer sind kompetent und interessiert.
(Translated by Google) I'm being taught by Tatiana. I'm extremely happy with her and couldn't imagine a better instructor. She explains things really well, is very patient, and encourages me. Thank you so much. (Original) Ich werde von Tatiana unterrichtet. Bin super zufrieden und könnte mir keine bessere Dozentin vorstellen. Sie erklärt es mir super, hat viel Geduld und fördert mich. Vielen Dank.
(Translated by Google) I'm learning German (B2 level) at the VOX language school and I highly recommend it. Our teacher, Lise, is fantastic and makes the lessons very lively and interesting. She explains things clearly and is always happy to answer questions. I feel very comfortable in her classes and I'm learning a lot. (Original) Ich lerne an der VOX-Sprachschule Deutsch (B2) und kann die Schule nur empfehlen. Unsere Lehrerin Lise ist eine großartige Lehrerin, die den Unterricht sehr lebendig und interessant gestaltet. Sie erklärt die Themen klar und hat immer ein offenes Ohr für Fragen. Ich fühle mich in ihrem Unterricht sehr wohl und lerne viel.
My learning experience at Vox Sprach Schule with Mr. Björn as my teacher has been extremely positive to date. Within a short timeframe, I have increased my knowledge towards new vocabulary and gained a good understanding of constructing the German grammar. As a result, I am more confident to communicate in public. Equally, I understand more of what I read and hear too. Mr. Björn is always very well prepared, organised and focused. His teaching style is methodical and presented with a lot of attention to detail. He provides me a wide range of solutions, “tips and tricks” to memorise new words, alternative words, and explains different ways on how to best apply them. He does a lot of repetition and provides a lot of examples in the class to make sure that I have thoroughly understood the syllables before moving on to the next lesson. Above all, he does extensive helpful notes which are customised and prepared simultaneously during each class. I receive these notes shortly after every class, and they help me to study at home. The atmosphere in the class is very friendly and comfortable. Although I was nervous at first, I am very relaxed with my learning experience and look forward to attend each class with much enthusiasm. Vox Sprach Schule is very well located and maintained to high standards. The administration team has been extremely helpful and flexible towards accommodating my requests in order to ensure my learning experience is productive. I sincerely appreciate, and thank Vox Sprach Schule for placing Mr. Björn as my German teacher as I gave progressed a lot under his guidance. I look forward to continue my education with the same team and highly recommend them to anyone looking to learn a new language in Switzerland. D.A Pollocks Student.
I have just completed A1 German intensive with Ruben and I have to say, it really makes a difference when you have a teacher who is truly passionate about what they are teaching. The course felt well organised and I felt comfortable making mistakes (lots of them!) I would highly recommend this course for beginners as it gives you a great base line and understanding of how the language works. Danke Ruben & VOX
I am finally learning grammar while also learning how to have some conversation apart from “Das Wetter ist gut”. I believe they have a good balance between grammar and conversation and a good pace. This was the second school I tried and I am learning a lot, but I would recommend having studied the very basics before.
I started my course at VOX in August, and within a few months I found a better job. The German course was very dynamic. With small classes, we could easily ask questions and practice conversation. I stayed with the teacher, Ieva Jefremova, and you can tell she loves what she does and explains very well. The best choice I made, without a doubt.

Many people struggle to learn French 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. If we compare learning languages to learning an instrument, the key to success is practice - practicing playing or, in the case of languages, speaking. Once the connections between your brain and the muscles responsible for speech are established, you can create beautifully sounding sentences. At VOX-Sprachschule, you will learn to speak actively - understanding, reading, and writing will follow.
