(Translated by Google) The school is centrally located and the rooms are nicely furnished. My teacher is very competent and motivating. Although she demands a lot, it's fun and very educational, so the lesson usually flies by much too quickly. (Original) Die Schule ist zentral gelegen und die Räume sind schön eingerichtet. Meine Lehrperson ist sehr kompetent und motivierend. Obwohl sie viel fordert, macht es Spass und ist sehr lehrreich, so dass die Stunde meist viel zu schnell verfliegt.
Thoroughly enjoyed the course!
(Translated by Google) I recommend classes with Professor Andersen. (Original) Je recommande les cours avec le professeur Andersen.
(Translated by Google) I finished the A1 German course with my teacher Ruben, whom I sincerely thank for his preparation and patience. He made me feel at ease right away. Thanks to him, I learned various German concepts from scratch. I recommend him to everyone. (Original) Ho terminato il corso di tedesco A1 con il mio insegnante Ruben, che ringrazio davvero per la preparazione e la pazienza, ha saputo mettermi a mio agio fin da subito. Grazie a lui ho appreso varie nozioni della lingua tedesca partendo da zero, lo consiglio a tutti.
Very productive and fun!
Very nice school with a nice and flexible teachers :)
I was surprised myself how fast I made progress with my language skills. Very professional teachers teach at VOX, who know their field very well.
I had a German A1 course in Vox, with Yelyzaveta Berezovska as a teacher. I am very satisfied with Elly's teaching approach. She was paying attention to each student's progress and helped us overcome the difficulties that we had with the material. The classes were structured well with short repetitions of the previously learned material, then learning new material, summarising what we had learned at the end of each class, and setting homework assignments. Besides following the workbook, there were a lot of interactive exercises that Elly had prepared herself, that challenged us to practice what we had learned. Also a lot of out of the book homework in addition. I had the feeling that I was progressing after each class. The workbook "Sprachniveau A1+ Begegnungen, Deutsch als Fremdsprache" by Anne Buscha and Szilvia Szita we used in the class was structured and thought through extremely well. What I like about the school is that there is an option to visit the classes online. This is really convenient not to miss classes when traveling. The online courses worked surprisingly well, as the school classrooms are equipped for online teaching as well and Elly was making sure that you feel like you are really in the classroom. The team in Vox was really collaborative and helpful. The location of the school on Central was very convenient.
(Translated by Google) The facilities and location are excellent. My teacher, Tatiana, is fantastic! She makes the lessons very varied and teaches with great passion. She immediately recognized my strengths and weaknesses and adapted the course content accordingly. She is the best teacher I have ever had. Thank you so much for the wonderful lessons. I'm really looking forward to the next one. (Original) Die Räumlichkeit und der Standort sind hervorragend. Meine Lehrerin Tatiana ist sehr gut! Sie gestaltet den Unterricht sehr abwechslungsreich und mit voller Leidenschaft. Sie erkannte meine Stärken und Schwächen sofort und passte den Kursinhalt auch an diese an. Sie ist die beste Lehrerin, die ich jemals hatte. Vielen Dank, für den tollen Unterricht. Ich freue mich schon sehr, auf den nächsten Unterricht.
The best language school for immigrants. Very reliable and responsive team, great teachers and also comfortable classes in heart of the city. I improved myself a lot with two courses already, and gladly will attend for more. Also the schedule might be flexible and they help with any questions I have. Thank you VOX! Keep going 🤗
Lessons with Fabian are pure joy. I learnt a lot in a very short period of time. I highly recommend this school
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.
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.
