Pricing
Based on value
The price of a language course is always linked to the group size and the course content. We start group courses with only 3 people (max. 5) and aim to complete one level within one course.
Great opportunity to practice speaking and listening skills with the group and teacher. Flexible online approach with mature technology made lessons during lockdown possible. Review materials are shared promptly in pdf after each lesson. I also like that Isabelle inspired us to learn from multiple angles including reading a book together and watching YouTube videos in between lessons.
(Translated by Google) A great school with a very pleasant atmosphere, which invites to learn and to speak. I am very happy to be part of the VOX team! (Original) Eine super Schule mit sehr angenehmer Atmosphäre, die zum Lernen und Sprechen einlädt. Ich bin sehr froh, Teil des VOX-Teams zu sein!
A really great school and the team. The teaching method works!
Really excellent experience - the teacher was totally up to speed on what I needed to do and delivered a targeted programme to help me develop my skills. Thoroughly enjoyable as well!
I did a German B2 superintensive course. Both my teachers were great. Remarkable skills of delivering the information, knowledgeable of the language , interested to make me learn. Very well organized school. Very strongly recommended.
Good school with enthusiastic and well-prepared teachers. Working in small groups is efficient.
After a few courses at VOX, studying German, I can only recommend it for: 1) the quality / professionalism of the teaching (always prepared, hand-outs if necessary, follow-ups over email if a class is missed and topics / words / concepts promptly addressed the following lessons); 2) flexibility of the teaching and administration; 3) small class size (one of my main selection criteria) which allows for a good practice / feedback for all students; 4) convenient location close to HB (which was a big plus when you are trying to strike a balance with work and other chores). Both teachers I had so far (Coralie and Larissa) were extremely helpful, accurate and kind and helped me moved towards my goals.
This is an excellent language school. I was looking for a flexible program that could accommodate my work and travel schedule, and yet allow me to gain a working knowledge of German fairly quickly. The staff at VOX-sprachschule were incredibly cooperative and helpful. With their assistance I was able to find the right level and schedule for lessons. In my case this was private lessons via video. But am sure the group lessons are excellent as well. The teaching materials and the quality of instruction is really superb. I am especially pleased with my instructor, Isabelle Wegmüller, who is very knowledgeable, patient and fun. I am making good progress and expect to continue on with my lessons for the foreseeable future. I highly recommend this language school.
I have a very good experience with VOX Language School. They work in small groups, have an individual approach and competent teachers.
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
I came to this school with 0 knowledge of German. I was very nervous at the beginning but the teachers at this school are so welcoming and really make you feel at ease. I especially find Christina's teaching approach really great and feel Ive learnt so much in her classes (both private and joint classes). I couldn't recommend this school enough!
I would like to express my satisfaction with the school in general and my German teacher, Ms. Olga Chincholle, in particular. Starting from a prompt and highly organized reception and course orientation, followed by professionalism of my teacher - everything is perfect so far. The most important is the fact, that the course is fully oriented towards my personal level and needs. I'm glad to have this experience!

Finding the right German courses in Zurich
Finding the right language school for a German course in Zurich is not an easy task. The price range is wide and the combination possibilities are endless. So, how do you find the appropriate German course for your specific needs? You have to consider different aspects: personal goals, ideal time frame, size of the group, professionality of the instructors, and ample speaking opportunities. At VOX, we prioritize oral communication: Speaking proficiency is the most important facet to language learning. All other language skills can be built on the basis of speaking, but not vice versa.
Quality, money, and time when learning German
When choosing your German course in Zurich, always ensure that you learn in groups with a maximum of 5 students. In larger groups, the teacher will simply not have enough time to focus on your individual progress. Always check the qualifications of the teacher. Ideally, the teacher should have an academic background in linguistics; otherwise you risk going through an endless cycle of boring grammar exercises (in a book). The teacher will not be able to explain how the language works due to a lack of specialized knowledge. If you choose a course with a native speaker who does not have a university background in linguistics, the learning process will eventually take longer, as the only way you will be learning is by imitation.
With clear grammatical explanations of the structure of the German language, you save valuable time, which can be redirected towards improving your speaking proficiency. That is why the German courses offered by VOX in Zurich only take 1-3 months to cover one full level. We consciously decided not to subdivide our courses into discrete levels, e.g. A1.1, A1.2, A1.3 etc. Our setup allows for German grammar to be integrated extremely fast into actively speaking. If you consider the price of the course as well as the value of your time, you will see that VOX has a very competitive offer on the market, which saves you time and lets you reach your goals straight away. Join a trial lesson and see for yourself.
Group size
The maximum group size is an essential factor for learning efficiently. In large groups, the teacher will have to use group exercises as an economical compromise, since it would be impossible to dedicate enough time to each student personally. In the best-case scenario, the teacher tries to alternate between different groups to create value in the exercise and correct the students’ spoken language. Most of the time, the students are left alone with the responsibility of correcting themselves without receiving any input. In this setup, it is unlikely that the students will learn from their mistakes, but rather that they will copy those made by their fellow classmates. In the long term, this leads to the development of bad linguistic reflexes, which are very difficult to correct. At VOX, we only do exercises that allow the teacher to pay the appropriate amount of attention to every participant.
Psychology, motivation, and learning efficiency
For children, it is easy to learn languages, because they apply a set of strategies that lead to success. If that is the case, why is it so difficult for adults to master a language? The reason lies in the psychological barriers that evolve during adolescence. At VOX, we are aware of that, and we developed a set of strategies to dismantle those barriers and enable you to learn like a child again. Once you know how to actively use the strategies to successfully learn a new language, we will help you discover your intrinsic motivation to learn German. Living in Zurich is very challenging, and there might be many external reasons why you would like to start to learn German. Internal motivation will always be the best driver for language acquisition. We will support you in defining a reason that will genuinely help you learn fast and let you have fun doing so.
Everybody has a strategy to learn languages, but there is scientific evidence on integrating language-related information more efficiently; we will use that knowledge to help you reach maximum learning efficiency.
Different learning targets
Everybody has different goals when booking a German course. Most people would like to strengthen their speaking proficiency for personal reasons, but there are also other grounds for this, such as preparation for an official exam (TELC or Goethe) or improvement of spoken and written communication and establishment of professional vocabulary for work purposes. No matter what goal you have, we, at VOX, tailor the course to your specific needs. The small group size allows for the teacher to factor your goal into the lesson and to bring you to your particular target in the best possible way. We take responsibility for your individual target and will never leave you to struggle by yourself.
Shaping your German course
At VOX you have full flexibility. If you feel like you’re not making any progress or that something is going wrong during your German lessons, we have a quality control department that checks in with you at different times throughout the course. We will always listen to your feedback, and if there is any issue, we will always try to find a fast and appropriate solution. If there are any difficulties with your instructor, you can request to change the teacher at any time of your German course.
Central location
If you intend to book a German course, you will invest money and time, which are precious resources nowadays. We chose a very central location in Zurich, so that you can come to your lessons on your way home or when going to the office. Our school is situated right at Zurich Central and only a couple of minutes by foot from Zurich Main Station in the historic Polybahn building. If you go on a business trip or vacation, you will also be able to join your class remotely with the help of our innovative VOX digital board setup and still enjoy the highest quality of learning.

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.
