Good teachers and overall experience. Highly recommend
I’ve had a great experience with my online German lessons, largely thanks to my teacher, Sara. In addition to being multilingual, she has a very well-structured approach to teaching that makes each lesson clear and effective. She skillfully draws associations with other languages to ensure new concepts are easy to understand. The pace of the lessons is well balanced, and the homework is always relevant and helpful for reinforcing what we’ve covered. As I’m coming to the end of my current lesson package, I’ve already purchased another one, which says a lot about the quality of the teaching. This is the third time I’ve started learning German, and I genuinely feel that I’ve now found the right school and the right teacher to stay motivated, especially given how challenging the language can be. Sara is patient, insightful, and tech-savvy, and her notes are exceptionally neat and easy to follow, making revision straightforward. I highly recommend both VOX-Sprachschule and Sara to anyone looking to learn German.

(Translated by Google) I'm very satisfied with the Vox language school. I chose a German C2 online course, and everything went smoothly. My teacher, Isabel, is very professional and friendly, and learning German with her was a lot of fun, so I'd love to continue with this course. I definitely recommend the Vox language school!

Really excellent experience - the teacher was totally up to speed on what I needed to do and delivered a targeted programme to help me develop my skills. Thoroughly enjoyable as well!
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.
I have done the C1 course with the teacher named Tatiana. I would gladly recommend it. Right from the beginning she studied carefully my case and prepared a course fitting perfectly to my needs. I am quiet satisfied with the outcome.
(Translated by Google) I took the super-intensive B1 German course. The flexibility and availability of the management team was fantastic, and together we were able to find the best fit for me. Andersen's teaching methods and explanations were always very clear and simple. His availability, knowledge of languages, and his friendliness created a very pleasant environment. Because it was a small group, everyone always had the opportunity to express their doubts and uncertainties, and Andersen always answered them fully. I was truly satisfied with this course! I can't wait to start the B2 German course! (Original) Ho frequentato il corso B1 super intensivo di tedesco. La flessibilità e la disponibilità della parte manageriale è stata fantastica e insieme siamo riusciti a trovare ciò che per me era meglio. I metodi d'insegnamento di Andersen e le sue spiegazioni sono sempre state chiarissime e semplici. La sua disponibilità, la conoscenza delle lingue e la sua simpatia hanno creato un ambiente molto piacevole. Essendo un gruppo piccolo, ognuno aveva sempre la possibilità di esporre i propri dubbi e incertezze e Andersen ha sempre risposto pienamente a tutto. Sono stato veramente soddisfatto di questo corso! Non vedo l'ora di iniziare il corso B2 di tedesco!
(Translated by Google) I participated in the online intensive German course at level C1 and am completely satisfied with my experience at the Vox language school. Communication with the office was always friendly, quick, and very helpful. The teacher was not only very competent but also always available. The intensive course consists of three 120-minute lessons per week, but students are expected to dedicate plenty of time to studying between lessons. In class, grammar rules are reviewed, reading and listening comprehension exercises are conducted, and pronunciation is improved. The teacher assigns written or oral tasks to the whole class, but if someone is having significant difficulties with certain topics, they also receive individual assistance. Written work is corrected every time, which is very helpful in preparing for the written part of the exam. (Original) Ich habe an dem Online-Intensiv-Deutschkurs Niveau C1 teilgenommen und bin mit meiner Erfahrung bei der Vox-Sprachschule voll und ganz zufrieden. Die Kommunikation mit dem Sekretariat war immer freundlich, schnell und sehr hilfreich. Die Lehrerin war nicht nur sehr kompetent, sondern immer verfügbar. Beim Intensivkurs gibt es 3 Unterrichtsstunden à 120 Minuten pro Woche, aber die Studentinnen/Studenten sollen viele Lernstunden zwischen den Unterrichtsstunden einplanen. Im Unterricht werden die Grammatikregeln wiederholt, Übungen zum Textverständnis und Hörverständnis durchgeführt und die Aussprache verbessert. Die Lehrerin vergibt jeweils schriftliche oder mündliche Aufgaben für die ganze Klasse, aber, wenn Man große Schwierigkeiten mit bestimmten Themen hat, wird ihm auch bei einzelnen Aufgaben geholfen. Die schriftlichen Arbeiten werden auch jedes Mal korrigiert und das hilft sehr bei der Vorbereitung auf den schriftlichen Teil der Prüfung.
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 🤗
I have loved everything about this Sprachschule, from the structure, to the teacher, to the administration. They are very quick at responding, very kind, and efficient. I have been in contact with different staff members, Ekaterina and Maria, and they have both been amazing. In addition, my teacher Yvonne is always energetic and helpful, encouraging us to speak and listening with so much patience. I am so happy to be continuing with them and would recommend it to anyone. I do feel like my German is already so much better.
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.
