I had a great time learning French. Great people
Super happy with this school! Every day my German is improving and it’s only been a month. Their system really works! I have already enrolled for the next course. Can’t beat the location, the classes are super small and intimate, and the pace is ideal. Grateful for my talented -and very patient- teacher, Alys 🙏🏼
(Translated by Google) I took classes with Tanja. We practiced speaking German a lot, and she constantly corrected us. She was also very attentive to whether we were satisfied with the classes, what ideas we had for improvement and practice, and what our goals were. Thank you so much, Tanja! (Original) Tome clases con Tanja, practicamos mucho hablar en aleman y nos corrije constantemente, por otro lado siempre esta muy pendiente si estamos satisfechos con las clases, que ideas tenemos para proponer, mejorar y practicas y cuales son nuestros objetivos. Muchas gracias Tanja!
Review from my partner Kathleen Izzat I do feel that I am moving towards my goals with this language course and there is enough speaking practice. The lessons are interesting and Priska is very friendly and patient, often encouraging the students to find or to work out the correct answer by ourselves initially, then using help from co-students before stepping in to assist and advise. We are given plenty of relevant, everyday examples of the language in use and are supported well when we try to use German to describe our own experiences and thoughts. Looking back through the course book I can see that the new information being provided very cleverly flows throughout each chapter, as well as from chapter to chapter - it’s a well written course book. I would however, as a memory aid, prefer the book to be more colourful (for example, as in Hueber’s Schritte plus series) but that’s just my own preference. It’s not a problem though and it forces me to make my own notes, but that does take up a lot of home time on this intensive course. Overall though I am very pleased with this course
Very happy with Vox. It is worth the price. We were in a small group (3 students), our teacher Michael is very patient and adapts to the class' skills and knowledge. The rythm is good, it's not boring, we had fun during the classes, and I feel I made real progress.
(Translated by Google) I had a great teacher and the school was very clean and well-organized :) I'm very happy with the Vox school. (Original) Ich hatte einen tollen Lehrer und die Schule war sehr sauber und gut organisiert : ) Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit der Vox Schule
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
(Translated by Google) It's a very good school for learning languages, I recommend it. (Original) Es ist eine sehr gute Schule um Sprachen zu lernen, ich empfehle es.
I had the pleasure of attending both a group course and individual private lesson with Vox Sprache. In both cases, I had the opportunity to practise and improve my speaking skills. There is difference between learning theory and actually articulating the language. I like to share that my private lessons with Isabelle have been such a positive experience. She prepared and tailored the lessons specifically for my needs. She was consistently attentive to help me improve my language skills. As a result of this experience, I feel more comfortable communicating with native speakers and better prepared for my B1 mündlichen Prüfung. Thank you Isabelle for not only teaching me but also motivating me throughout the course. Your passion for teaching is filter through in every lesson. Thank you.
I’m very happy with VOX. I’ve completed my A2 and B1 German courses here, and I’m currently doing B2. I really like the way the classes are conducted. It’s not just about doing exercises in a book there’s a strong focus on conversation and discussing topics that interest the students. I’d especially like to mention Priska. She’s an excellent teacher who prepares all her lessons with care, always answers our questions, helps us, and teaches in the best possible way. I will definitely continue taking my courses here ☺️
Good school with enthusiastic and well-prepared teachers. Working in small groups is efficient.

Course Description
The Cambridge Advanced exam (formerly known as CAE) corresponds to the C1 level (second highest) of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR) and is accepted by English-speaking universities worldwide. At the C1 level you will be able to communicate successfully at a professional level with a high level of fluency.
Our small class sizes (3-5 students) ensure a lot of individual attention. In such small groups your teacher is able to adapt to any individual needs and requests you may have. The course will help you to expand your vocabulary, fill any grammar gaps and communicate in a more nuanced way.
Materials specially designed for exam preparation will be used to train your ability to accurately answer the type of questions asked in this exam. You will also practise all the different text types required in the written exam. By the end of the exam you will be fully prepared to sit your exam with confidence.
If you didn’t find any course in the course list, please fill out our non binding inquiry form, we might still have a course for you.

Many people struggle to learn English 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.
