Great place to learn German. The teachers and the admin team do a great job of creating a very personalised experience. May seem expensive at first sight but you should consider that Vox do one level (A1, A2 etc.) as one course, rather than dividing a level into 3 courses as other schools do.
(Translated by Google) I took a private French course to prepare myself optimally for my bilingual studies. My teacher, Alex, was very friendly, competent, and motivating! Due to my move, the course duration was unfortunately limited to eight weeks—otherwise, I would have gladly continued! (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!
I am currently learning Norwegian and I have to say this school is the best. My teacher, Kirsten, has a lot of patience and she explains everything good and clear. I am satisfied with the course ( couldn’t be better organised - full flexibility ). I would definitely recommend it.
Great experience. Followed the B1 German course during Corona time and I am impressed by the flexibility of the school and the teacher Priska. The general quality of the course is very good and very personal. Priska is a great teacher - and will definitely recommend her and Vox schule! Thanks! Pieter Laban
I would like to share my experience with Vox-Sprachschule, which has been extremely positive from start to finish. From the moment I arrived, I received a very warm and professional welcome from Maxime. He took the time to clearly explain how the program works and ensured that I felt comfortable and confident about the learning process ahead. I also had the opportunity to learn with an outstanding teacher, Mariia. Her teaching approach is both engaging and highly effective. Thanks to her guidance, I have made significant progress and can genuinely see my improvement in English. She creates a supportive and motivating environment, which makes learning both enjoyable and rewarding. Overall, I highly recommend Vox-Sprachschule to anyone looking for a serious and well-structured language learning experience. The quality of teaching and the level of support provided truly make a difference. Piqueras Nicolas
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
Thank you Vox Sprachschule for handling all my enquiries promptly and professionally. I have really enjoyed my online German lessons with Valentina. The lessons are always fun, the content relevant and the grammar has been so clearly explained and summarised!
I'm currently taking an in-person German class with Lise, and the experience has been excellent. Lise is an amazing teacher—very supportive and always brings a lot of energy to the lessons. We have a lot of fun while learning, and I've gained so much from her classes. She uses a wide range of materials, including articles, special notes, and videos, which keeps things interesting and interactive. I highly recommend her as a teacher!
(Translated by Google) I can highly recommend the Vox School. (Original) Ich kann die Vox Schule nur weiterempfehlen.
I am super happy with my experience with VOX. The online intensive three-month course has helped me greatly, and I like how small the classes are. My teacher Anna is just fantastic! Super motivating, helpful, and truly wants us to succeed on our language journey ☺️ I highly recommend VOX
(Translated by Google) As a teacher, I find teaching at VOX incredibly rewarding. Not only is the organization excellent, but the groups I've had the pleasure of teaching have always been very dynamic, motivated, and engaging. Overall, it's a superb learning environment. (Original) Als Lehrerin bereitet mir das Unterrichten bei VOX unglaubliche Freude. Nicht nur die Organisation ist top, sondern auch die Gruppen, welche ich unterrichten durfte, waren immer sehr dynamisch, motiviert und unterhaltsam. Im Grossen und Ganzen eine ausgezeichnete Lernatmosphäre.
(Translated by Google) The language school has a great location, beautiful classrooms, and our French teacher, Florian, is highly recommended. The conversation lessons are very informative and varied, and he caters to the needs of the participants. I highly recommend him! (Original) Die Sprachschule hat eine super läge, schöne Räume und unser Französischlehrer Florian ist sehr zu empfehlen. Die Konversationsstunden sind sehr lehrreich, gleichzeitig abwechslungsreich und er geht auf die Wünsche der Teilnehmer ein. Kann ihn sehr empfehlen!
Quality teaching
Languages
For every language we teach at VOX-Sprachschule, we focus on speaking, as it is the most natural form of communication. Many people concentrate on writing and reading, which prevents them from feeling like they are making progress in their target language. We try to approach this learning process differently: when you train yourself to speak first, grammar simply becomes a tool to support you in your language-learning journey. Reading and writing should come naturally, while speaking needs to be practiced at least 15 minutes a day.
