I started to learn German with an A1 course with Yelyzaveta Berezovska and I must say I really enjoy our classes, she is the best! Combined with the location, nice classrooms and well-thought learning materials, my experience could not be better. I also would like to thank Maria Davydova, who always answers all the numerous questions I have regarding the studying process. I definitely recommend VOX as a place to learn German ❤
Though the price is higher than many other schools, the smaller class sizes and high quality of teachers make it worth it! The course scheduling is flexible and fits my working schedule well. Each teacher is different but I have had only good experiences in my A2 and B1 courses. Teachers are happy to receive feedback to help you learn in the way that is best for you.
Vox Sprachschule has been a great service provider for dependable German learning courses. Customer communication has been great and trustworthy. I was able to revise my German lessons taken earlier and feel confident that I will be able to take the A2 Telc exam successfully. My thanks goes to my tutor Isabelle W. who was instrumental in taking me through the paces with her genuine encoragement and knowledgeable inputs. I wish the school and all its tutors all the best.

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.
