I joined vox-sprachshule with zero Germany word, but after 2 months with Joline, I can proudly introduce myself and create some sentences in Deutsch. I will 100% recommend anyone that wants learn Deutsch to join vox-sprachshule.
I had the privilege to meet my teachers Kenny and Alex and learn German in a proactive and fun way. They inspired me to continously improve my german skills and not be afraid of speaking a new language. They always accommodated with the needs of the students and really emerge us in the culture and language. I recommend VOX to anybody that wants to learn German.
Anderson is an outstanding teacher. He is very patient, professional, and always makes the lessons engaging and easy to understand. His teaching style has helped me improve my confidence and progress in German much faster.
Had a very good learning period with Nadine! Would definitely recommend VOX-Sprachschule to anyone who would be interested to start picking up a new language in the fastest way possible!
The classes at Vox are absolutely amazing and a true delight. Even though I am learning online, the sessions are so interactive and fun that staying focused is easy.. I'm currently at an A2 level in German and I couldn't be happier with my progress. Anna is an incredible teacher, she is not only friendly but also brings so much energy and warmth to each class. Her lessons are always well-prepared and packed with engaging, varied exercises.
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.
(Translated by Google) Very professional... the teacher is very nice and not far from Zurich main station. I can highly recommend it! 👍🏻 (Original) Sehr professionell......die Lehrerin ist sehr nette und nicht weit weg vom Zürich HB. Das kann ich weiter empfehlen! 👍🏻
I'm currently taking an in-person German class with Lise, and the experience has been excellent. Lise is an amazing teacher—very supportive and always brings a lot of energy to the lessons. We have a lot of fun while learning, and I've gained so much from her classes. She uses a wide range of materials, including articles, special notes, and videos, which keeps things interesting and interactive. I highly recommend her as a teacher!
Amazing :)
(Translated by Google) The Vox language school always made an effort to meet my needs and wishes. My French teacher, Ms. Houria Merrad, was very professional and always encouraged me to keep going, even when things got difficult – with great success. I would gladly go back! (Original) Die Vox-Sprachschule hat sich stehts bemüht auf meine Bedürfnisse & Wünsche einzugehen. Frau Houria Merrad meine Französisch Lehrerin war sehr professionel und hat mich auch wenns schwierig wurde - stehts aufgemuntert weiterzumachen - mit vollem Erfolg. Immer wieder gerne!
(Translated by Google) I am very satisfied with the online German course. I am even more satisfied with the German teacher, Karl K. Dalitz; he is very competent, friendly, and explains everything very well. If I need another German course in the future, I would gladly take it with Karl K. Dalitz again. Thank you very much. (Original) Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Deutschonlinekurs. Ich bin noch mehr zufrieden mit dem Deutchlehrer Karl K. Dalitz,er ist sehr kompetent,freundlich,erklärt alles sehr gut.Ich würde später gerne wenn ich nochmals einen Deutschkurs brauche wieder gerne bei Karl K.Dalitz machen. Lieben Dank

Course Description
If you are ready to sit your first intermediate level exam for German, then this course is for you. This course is also perfect for those who want to gain Swiss citizenship and need to prove that they have B1-level speaking skills or for your C-permit.
In this course, you will progress from a basic to an independent user of German and you will be able to deal with most daily situations in German by the end of the course through our speaking-based method. Your experienced teacher will not only help you to improve your language skills, but also to develop strategies for tackling the different parts of the exam efficiently and accurately.
Our classes are very small (3-5 people). This small size means your teacher can adapt to you and any special requirements you may have. Just ask your teacher. This course will cover all parts of the exam: reading comprehension, listening comprehension, language elements (vocabulary and grammar), writing and, naturally, VOX’s specialty, speaking. Through repetition of exam-like exercises in class, working through the exam will be a breeze by the end.

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.
