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. Your experienced teacher will help you to improve your language skills and also develop strategies for tackling the different parts of the exam. Our classes are small (3-5 people). This small size means your teacher can adapt to you and your needs. This exam preparation course will cover all parts of the exam: reading comprehension, listening comprehension, language elements (vocabulary and grammar), writing and, naturally, VOX’s specialty, speaking, and will familiarise you with the structure of each section. By using Telc-specific exam preparation materials you will be fully prepared for the exam by the end of the course.
Choosing a course
You can choose another German B1 Course in Zurich Central, with a different start date and a different schedule. More German Courses for all levels from A1 to C2. You may be interested in other language courses in Zurich Central. We will help you to speak fluently not only German!I can highly recommend VOX-Sprachschule. I however can only comment on the 1-1 online / video training sessions. We opted this route, it is more expensive (not cheap) but it works for us as our tutor fits in with our hectic work schedules. Our tutor Yvonne is very flexible with her lessons should someone from work arise and we cannot attend the lesson, rescheduling is never a problem. Everyone’s needs are different when learning a language and Yvonne has managed to tailor make the lessons for our needs. She is super knowledgeable of the language we are learning and her English is of a superb standard. The extra touch , Yvonne is teaching us German , however she also will add in some Swiss phrases which she feels would be beneficial to us. She sends all the online screenshot to us after our lesson so we can refer back to the notes of that particular lecture. She marks the given homework promptly. I’ve had a couple of enquires that I had to make with the school and always had a prompt response. Please note again , it is not cheap, but it is like most things in life , you get what you pay for. I am by no means running down any other language schools , however a big group was not what we wanted , we wanted 1-1 sessions where we could bond with our tutor and our needs have been met.
Small focused classes with top quality teachers. Very happy with my progress since joining the school.
Amazing :)
Great language school with amazing teachers! I can especially recommended Sabrina and Felicity, both very professional and friendly, explain everything in a great detail, encourage to talk and help you to pronounce words correctly. The admin staff also very accommodating and helpful.
(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. 💪🏻
Very easy to find course type and time slots that will fit the needs of students. Positive, friendly atmosphere , no unnecessary stress about German;)
I highly recommend taking your German classes at VOX. And even more so I recommend requesting Alexander Lips as your teacher. Over the last year or so I've taken a few classes with Alexander (B1, B2, C1) and I've waited to make a review as I've been gate keeping his greatness. He is the best language instructor I've ever had and the most passionate. It is hard to stay motivated to study a language and it's hard to attend an evening course after work. But this isn't the case in Alexander's class. His expertise is inspiring. The course was completely tailored to our goals and our motivations. We explored poetry, books and presentations, all of which was frankly fun and enriching. We learned grammar, practiced speaking and reading, all while learning about history and art. I can also say I've read two books in German now which is super satisfying and it also gives me more to talk about to my friends in German. If anything I wish I had more time to learn and take advantage of Alexander's great instruction. Another very unique skill of Alexander's is his deep understanding of etymology and applying the skill to make words stick in your mind. He can break down words into components to then make connections to others words, languages, history, or stories. He shows the patterns to look for to do the same. There are words I'll never forget because he took the time to really give us the depth of the word. Such a talent to have! Huge thank you to VOX for such great organization and a huge thank you to Alexander for all the work and care he puts in his instruction. So, if you've read to here you should really go register already for a course!

(Translated by Google) I'm currently taking a business English course, as well as individual lessons at the same time. flexible, uncomplicated, solution-oriented! Registration with desired dates is possible, which is what brought me to VOX. Group courses with a maximum of 5 participants ensure quick progress. I can also recommend private lessons. The teachers know how to motivate and are top-notch! (Original) Ich besuche zur Zeit einen Business-Englischkurs, ebenso parallel dazu Einzellektionen. flexibel, unkompliziert, lösungsorientiert! Anmeldung mit Wunschterminen möglich, was mich auch zu VOX gebracht hat. Gruppenkurse mit max. 5 Teilnehmern sorgen für schnelles Weiterkommen. Ebenfalls kann ich Privatlektionen weiterempfehlen. Die Lehrerinnen und Lehrer verstehen es zu motivieren und sind fachlich top!
Vox school is in the complex well organized and offers both private lessons and small-group lessons. I liked also the possibility to attend the course online, that makes it even more flexible and gives you the possibility to attend the course from anywhere. I think that one of the advantages of the school is that the teachers are very well prepared. I am enjoying my German course with Larissa, she is very professional and she has very good teaching skills. I also appreciate that she prepares the class in advance and that she always prepare for me a summary of each lesson, that is very helpful for the learning process. Because of my experience, I strongly recommend Vox school.
I enrolled in a German A2 individual lessons with Joline, and am very satisfied. I feel I made a lot of progress. The teacher is very flexible, kind and helpful! I strongly recommend this school!
(Translated by Google) Dear Ms Poulkas, The course with Yana was quite insightful. I talked a lot during the course and she helped me a lot to correct my mistakes. Yana took the course in a complicated situation, with many upcoming lessons and little time to work, but she managed to optimize the content to clarify the most important and fundamental points. I need some time to practice everything I have learned and oriented so that I can continue learning with the B2 course. Kind regards Rodrigo Aires (Original) Liebe Frau Poulkas, Der Kurs mit Yana war ziemlich aufschlussreich. Ich habe während des Kurses viel geredet und sie hat mir sehr geholfen, meine Fehler zu korrigieren. Yana nahm an dem Kurs in einer komplizierten Situation teil, mit vielen anstehenden Lektionen und wenig Zeit zum Arbeiten, aber sie schaffte es, den Inhalt zu optimieren, um die wichtigsten und grundlegenden Punkte zu klären. Ich brauche etwas Zeit, um alles Gelernte und Orientierte zu üben, damit ich mit dem B2-Kurs weiter lernen kann. Freundliche Grüsse Rodrigo Aires
