The receptive component involves reading, listening, and language comprehension. Tasks may include multiple-choice questions or matching exercises. In the productive segment, which includes writing and speaking, candidates respond to prompts and express themselves either in written form or orally. During the oral examination, the emphasis is on direct interaction between candidates.

I’ve been studying English in this school for 4 months. The rooms are well equipped with round tables and interactive whiteboards; study materials are up to date and in general the organisation is great! I highly recommend Kathleen as a professor.
A really great school and the team. The teaching method works!

(Translated by Google) I really enjoyed Timo's conversation course. In the last 12 lessons, Timo chose many interesting texts and various podcasts on current topics. This kept us very motivated to have conversations. I highly recommend this course. (Original) Der Konversationskurs bei Timo hat mir viele Freude gemacht.

I enrolled in Intensive German class and it has been a good learning experience. Our teacher Ruben is great and teaches in a pace which is not too overwhelming as expected while learning a new language. I would highly recommend Ruben and Vox Sprachschule for learning German.
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
(Translated by Google) The space and location are excellent. My teacher, Tatiana, is very good! She designs the lessons with great variety and passion.

I'm really looking forward to the next class. (Original) Die Räumlichkeit und der Standort sind hervorragend. Meine Lehrerin Tatiana ist sehr gut!

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.
(Translated by Google) In addition to a central location and a motivated and qualified team, Vox offers a results-oriented method that quickly leads to speaking skills. This approach was new to me as both a teacher and a student, and I was immediately impressed. (Original) Neben einem zentralen Standort und einem motivierten und qualifizierten Team, bietet Vox eine ergebnisbezogene Methode, welche schnell zum Sprechen führt. Dieser Ansatz war für mich als Lehrer sowie als Schüler neu und hat mich auf Anhieb begeistert.
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!
Ich lerne Deutsch! I am in the A1 class, which is being paid for by my employer. Thanks to VOX Sprachschule and especially to our teacher Stefan. I'm amazed by how much we have learned in just 6 weeks.
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.
