On B1 level at VOX, you will work towards the goal of being able to speak actively and independently, because at level B1 practically all of the grammar required for speaking freely will be completed. To achieve this, the principles of language usage on B1 level will be explained to you in a simple way using the VOX method, so that you can apply them immediately in your everyday life. We will work in a very focused and playful way on the sentence structure, declension of the nouns, declension of the adjectives, verb conjugation, Konjunktiv II, tenses and prepositions so that you can master these topics perfectly by the end of the course.

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.

I couldn't be happier with my A1 online German course with VOX! The team has been enormously professional and responsive, providing great support all through the course. And my instructor, Maria...WOW!! As a former educator, I've been extremely impressed by her level of knowledge AND her ability to explain every single question clearly and completely. Maria is a seriously talented German teacher--ask for her, though I'm sure VOX has a full team of great teachers to offer. FIVE GOLD STARS for my A1 German course with VOX. Would give more if possible!
Well done from A to Z. First of all, I was impressed by the client service provided by Aida. She was very clear, professional and tried to accomodate my requests. After the trial lesson, I can just confirm the quality and the high level of the teaching provided by Vox. I am currently following an A2 German course with Sabrina. She is really prepared and with a great deal of passion in her job - I can guarantee you that it makes a very big difference when you are learning something new. Price is a bit higher compared to other schooIs, but it is money well spent.
I just completed another great course for advanced German language learners. The course was tailored exactly to my needs with ample opportunity to talk and build vocabulary in so many different topics and themes. Our teacher Solange Morel was excellent. She made the class interesting, helping us build our oral, reading and listening skills. She also picked up the grammar areas where we needed a refresher and wove that skillfully in the lessons. Thank you Vox and Solange for the great experience. Looking forward to the next course.
(Translated by Google) Very good online course The French course A1 super intensive with Sébastien Pruvost in January 2021. I learned a lot and the course was very well structured and well prepared by Sébastien. I'm really excited about the progress I've made in such a short time. The entire A1 level in one month. Top. (Original) Sehr guter online Kurs Der Französisch Kurs A1 superintensiv bei Sébastien Pruvost im Januar 2021. Ich habe sehr viel gelernt sehr guter Aufbau des Kurses und gute Vorbereitung von Sébastien. Bin wirklich begeistert vom Fortschritt den ich gemacht habe in der kurzen Zeit. Das ganze Niveau A1 in einem Monat. Top.
Took a 1-1 course to prepare for the German C1 exam and I passed. Teacher Larissa was encouraging the whole time.
I am currently taking German A1 with VOX-Sprachschule and have been very happy with their concept. The small group size and the skillful teacher have made it easy to reach the goals set, and I signed up for the next level without hesitation. Importantly, I travel a lot in my work and have therefore had to miss out on a number of classes, but this has never been an issue. The teacher has kindly provided me with homework for the lessons missed, so that I have had no problems keeping up with the other students. Also from the admin side everything has been very streamlined. All in all, I warmly recommend this language school.
(Translated by Google) Very professional......the teacher is very nice and not far from Zurich HB. I can recommend this! 👍🏻 (Original) Sehr professionell......die Lehrerin ist sehr nette und nicht weit weg vom Zürich HB. Das kann ich weiter empfehlen! 👍🏻
(Translated by Google) I took a “super-intensive” online course. My French teacher Sébastien made the lessons very varied and exciting. I was able to ask questions about any grammar topic or vocabulary and this was then looked at together with Sébastien and explained in an understandable way. I also found the small talks in French with Sébastien very helpful and pleasant. I was able to learn a lot and will be taking the DALF C1 exam in about six weeks. The free trial lesson with the teacher Nathalie in Winterthur also convinced me and I also found the location of the school very good. The only thing I have to complain about was the organization until a French group course at C1 level could be found. The administration staff were all friendly, but I originally wanted to attend a group course in Winterthur from mid-August, but for example I was given... T. only received an answer by email about once a week and then finally attended an online course from the beginning of September. In retrospect, I found it very good online because the lessons themselves were extremely educational. That's why I would still like to take a course at the Vox language school again. :) (Original) Ich habe einen „super-intensiven“ Onlinekurs besucht. Mein Französisch-Lehrer Sébastien hat den Unterricht sehr abwechslungsreich und spannend gestaltet. Ich konnte zu jedem Grammatik-Thema oder zum Wortschatz Fragen stellen und dies wurde dann gemeinsam mit Sébastien angeschaut und verständlich erklärt. Die Smalltalks auf Französisch mit Sébastien fand ich auch ganz hilfreich und angenehm. Ich konnte sehr viel lernen und werde in etwa sechs Wochen die DALF C1-Prüfung absolvieren. Die kostenlose Probelektion mit der Lehrerin Nathalie in Winterthur hat mich ebenfalls überzeugt und die Lage der Schule habe ich auch sehr gut gefunden. Das einzige, was ich etwas bemängeln muss, war die Organisation bis ein Französisch-Gruppenkurs auf C1-Niveau gefunden werden konnte. Die Mitarbeiter der Administration waren zwar alle freundlich, jedoch wollte ich ursprünglich ab Mitte August einen Gruppenkurs in Winterthur besuchen, aber bekam z. T. nur etwa einmal pro Woche eine Antwort per Mail und besuchte dann schliesslich einen Onlinekurs ab Anfang September. Im Nachhinein habe ich es online aber auch sehr gut gefunden, weil die Lektionen an sich äusserst lehrreich aufgebaut waren. Deshalb würde ich dennoch gerne wieder einen Kurs bei der Vox Sprachschule besuchen. :)
Enrolled on the intensive German course and it has been great fun. Learnt a lot more quickly than I was expecting. The small class format and focus on speaking has really made a difference. The teacher Ruben has been great and is always able to explain concepts in a way that make them more understandable and helps with learning. Definitely recommend Vox Sprachschule for anyone wanting to learn German.
(Translated by Google) I took an individual course in French to prepare myself optimally for my bilingual studies. My teacher Alex was very friendly, competent and motivating! Unfortunately, due to the change of residence, the course duration was limited to 8 weeks - otherwise I would have liked to continue! (Original) Ich hatte einen Individualkurs in Französisch, um mich optimal für mein zweisprachiges Studium vorzubereiten. Mein Lehrer Alex war sehr freundlich, kompetent und motivierend! Durch den Wohnortwechsel war die Kurszeit leider auf 8 Wochen beschränkt - sonst hätte ich gerne weitergemacht!
(Translated by Google) At the Vox school they helped me a lot with my German. You gave me very good grammatical explanations. They have an intensive way of teaching, but the results are very good. I hope that I can continue learning with the Vox School. 💪🏻 (Original) In der Vox-Schule haben sie mir sehr mit meinem Deutsch geholfen. Sie haben mir sehr gute grammatikalische Erklärungen gegeben. Sie haben eine intensive Art zu unterrichten, aber die Ergebnisse sind sehr gut. Ich hoffe , dass ich mit der Vox Schule weiter lernen kann. 💪🏻
(Translated by Google) When I started learning German in January of this year, I met a teacher who wasn't very happy with him at first. After a few lessons with Maxi, I realized that he had a different way of teaching. He didn't stick to the examples in the book, he wanted to explain it to us in a more practical way so that we would think about it. A very good teacher but strict, it requires us to always be active. In other words, it's great for us students. I finished the B1 course with him. Thanks Max. "I think the online lessons are good, you should have them on offer. I would also like to do the lessons from home in the future. I've seen a lot of teachers and schools and Olga is perfect for me. Olga is looking at what we're doing We need everything separately and adapts to our individual wishes and that is unique. Olga is very hard-working and listens to our opinions." (Original) Als ich im Januar dieses Jahres anfing, Deutsch zu lernen, traf ich einen Lehrer, der anfangs nicht sehr zufrieden mit ihm war. Nach ein paar Stunden mit Maxi wurde mir klar, dass er eine andere Art zu unterrichten hatte. Er hielt sich nicht an die Beispiele im Buch, er wollte es uns praktischer erklären, damit wir darüber nachdenken. Ein sehr guter Lehrer, aber streng, es erfordert, dass wir immer aktiv sind. Mit anderen Worten, es ist großartig für uns Schüler. Ich habe den B1-Kurs mit ihm beendet. Danke Max. "Den Online- Unterricht finde ich gut, ihr solltet das im festen Angebot haben. Ich würde den Unterricht in Zukunft auch von zu Hause aus machen wollen. Ich habe viele Lehrer und Schulen gesehen und Olga ist perfekt für mich. Olga schaut, was wir alle separat brauchen und passt sich unseren individuellen Wünschen an und das ist einzigartig. Olga ist sehr fleissig und geht auf unsere Meinungen ein."
