My experience with VOX has been incredible. I would recommend you for sure. Michael was extremely good, patient and always came prepared. If I did not understood something, he would take his time and explain again (and sometimes again) without any impatience. Thank you very much for the well planned itenarary and accommodating me in the Corona...🤔..... Times
(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 took the online classes and I’m extremely satisfied with the way the classes are organised. Would highly recommend Nora Wilhelm as a teacher.
(Translated by Google) I've been attending VOX-Sprachschule for a while now, and I have to say the lessons are exceptional. For the price, it's definitely worth it. I recommend it to anyone who wants to learn languages well, especially German. (Original) È da un po' di tempo che sto frequentando la VOX-Sprachschule e devo dire che le lezioni sono eccezionali. Per quanto riguarda al prezzo ne vale veramente la pena. La consiglio a chi vorrebbe imparare bene le lingue, sopprattutto il tedesco.
I have opted for A1 German Intensive online classes with Lilli and it has been an amazing learning experience so far. The classes are well-paced, with an equal emphasis on speaking, reading, writing and listening. In particular, I would rate the online sessions quite high with modern teaching methods and high quality of engagement. I look forward to my German lessons every morning and I have already signed up for A2 online lessons. I would like to thank the VOX team for on point customer service and wonderful learning experience.
(Translated by Google) I had the opportunity to take my first French course (A1/A2) with Sebastien Pruvost. Sebastien has since become one of my favorite teachers, dedicated to teaching French quickly and in a structured way. His method is based on traditional textbooks like Grammaire en dialogues, as well as playful, authentic auditory and visual options. He is flexible and caters specifically to his students' needs. I wholeheartedly recommend Sebastien as a French teacher at the VOX School! (Original) Ich hatte die Gelegenheit meinen ersten Französischkurs (A1/A2) mit Sebastien Pruvost zu belegen. Sebastien ist mittlerweile einer meiner bisherigen Lieblingslehrer, bemüht einem Französisch schnell und strukturiert beizubringen. Seine Methode basiert auf traditionelle Lehrbücher wie Grammaire en dialogues sowie auf spielerische, authentische auditive und visuelle Optionen. Er zeigt sich flexibel und geht gezielt auf die Bedürfnisse seines Schülers ein. Ich kann Sebastien als Französischlehrer der VOX Schule von Herzen empfehlen!
Really enjoyed my classes at VOX. Florian is such a wonderful teacher who is very knowledgeable and engaging. Highly recommend!
I recently completed a Russian course at VOX, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. The professionalism and organization of the school are truly recommendable. My teacher, Tatiana, played a pivotal role in making the learning journey not only effective but also enjoyable. Her teaching style is incredibly pedagogic, and she has a knack for breaking down complex topics into digestible, memorable lessons. The classes were not just informative but also engaging, making it easy for me to grasp challenging concepts in a fun and interactive manner. I would wholeheartedly recommend this school to anyone looking to learn a language, and, of course, Tatiana as an exceptional instructor!
I’ve just finished the A1 high German course with Elly as my teacher. The classes and homework were not only very effective, but also fun. Going to evening class is one of my favorite parts of the workweek. I highly recommend vox, especially if Elly is the teacher
I am very pleased with this school as well as Juliana Müller, she is wonderful, the best teacher possible.
Small focused classes with top quality teachers. Very happy with my progress since joining the school.
Very personal service, good organization and high quality of the lessons, even if they were taught online. We covered a whole level within one course and I noticed the difference right away in real life conversations!!! Within a few weeks I was able to refresh all the knowledge I already had and actively build on this, which is exactly what my goal was! The lessons were in a small group, which is very nice as you meet new people and can practice together, but the group is still small enough to get personal attention. There is a very good balance between speaking, grammar and vocabulary in every lesson. As part of the course you get a book that is okay (I would like some more grammar explanation in the book, it is mostly exercises), however there are a lot of good exercises that we were not able to cover all during the course, which allows you to keep practicing even after the course. What I appreciated most is the tips from the teacher about common phrases and swiss terms, that only a native speaker can tell you and you definitelly do not get through platforms like DuoLingo that I was using before! All with all definitely very happy I joined the course :)

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.
