(Translated by Google) Very good teaching Andersen (Original) Sehr gut Lehre Andersen
I just finished the A2 online course with Lili and could not be happier. With only 4 people in the class, there is plenty of opportunity to speak, something that is difficult in most other schools. We received great personalised feedback as this amount of students is also much more manageable for the teacher. After trying 3 other language schools online and in Zurich, this is the one I will continue my education with.
(Translated by Google) I can only agree with the positive reviews. Everything is going perfectly, from the initial contact to the lessons. I'm currently taking a Swiss German course. My teacher, Silvan, studied languages and focuses on each student's strengths and weaknesses. He pays close attention to the smallest details. The lessons are relaxed and really fun. After six weeks, I've already made good progress, which keeps me motivated. I can wholeheartedly recommend the VOX language school. (Original) Kann mich den positiven Bewertungen nur anschliessen. Es läuft alles perfekt, vom Erstkontakt bis zum Unterricht. Ich mache gerade einen Schweizerdeutschkurs. Mein Lehrer Silvan hat Sprachen studiert und geht auf die Stärken und Schwächen des Schülers ein. Er achtet sehr auf Kleinigkeiten. Der Unterricht ist locker und macht echt viel Spass. Nach sechs Wochen habe ich schon gute Fortschritte gemacht die mich weiter motivieren. Ich kann die VOX Sprachschule uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.
Very professional and individual approach to the students
(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
I have just finished my Second Course with VOX Language school in Winterthur and I will be coming back for more in Winter 2022. Olga is a fantastic teacher working through the course at a good pace. She makes sure everyone gets a chance to talk during the class and makes a really nice atmosphere. If you are thinking of doing a course don't hesitate just book it. I highly recommend Vox.
Very nice school with a nice and flexible teachers :)
(Translated by Google) You learn an enormous amount in such a short time and achieve success quickly. I would happily recommend this school to anyone who wants to master a new language. (Original) Man lernt enorm viel in nur kurzer Zeit und erzielt schnell Erfolge. Ich empfehle diese Schule gerne jedem weiter, der eine neue Sprache beherrschen möchte.
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
Last spring I enrolled to the B1 German course in a team of five and Alexander Lips as our teacher. I am very happy with my decision and I can definitely recommend it. Alexander is a great teacher with a lot of knowledge and experience. He was very supportive throughout the course and he always encouraged me to speak more and corrected my mistakes in a constructive way. He also gave me useful tips and tricks on how to pronounce words correctly and how to avoid common errors. He made the lessons fun and engaging by using different materials and activities. Alexander also explained the grammar rules clearly and thoroughly. He used simple and easy-to-understand examples to illustrate the concepts and showed me how to apply them in different contexts. He also provided me with exercises and homework to practice what I learned and to reinforce my knowledge. He always checked my answers and gave me feedback on how to improve them. Our teacher was also very flexible and responsive to our needs. He asked us what our goals and expectations were at the beginning of the course and tailored the lessons accordingly. He also regularly asked us if we had any questions or suggestions and adjusted the pace and content of the lessons based on our feedback. I would highly recommend this German course to anyone who wants to learn or improve their German skills. Alexander is a professional and great teacher who knows how to teach the language effectively and enjoyably. He helped me achieve my learning objectives and made me feel more confident and comfortable in speaking and understanding German. He is one of the best teachers I have ever had.
(Translated by Google) Highly recommended. Everything is explained well, and there's a lot of talking involved. (Original) Sehr empfehlenswert. Es wird alles gut erklärt, vor allem es wird sehr viel gesprochen.
I am taking level B1 with Björn and he is great! He is friendly and very professional: his explanations are clear and kind, he is very energetic and has always a clear path to follow in the classroom. Very recommended!

Course Description
The C1 level is already about the complexity of language use. The vocabulary will be massively expanded again and we will work on the ability to deal with complex communicative context in any situation of your life. If you still have gaps or uncertainties from previous levels, we will of course help you to close them in an effective and fun way.
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 German 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.
