I am very happy with the teaching method of this school. Before I started to learn German with this method, I had been learning German already two years. Nevertheless I didn't feel power to communicate, not even talking about passing the exam in order to receive permit C. And with the method of this school I only needed one and a half months and I passed the exam with 85% out of 100%. I started to talk to people. I started to understand cases and genders. Rules of the German language no longer scare me. It all became like a game for me. And my learning now goes on, ones you understand the method, you can continue learning all the time. I recommend this school very much. And if I decide to learn some other language more, I will absolutely go only to this language school.
(Translated by Google) Very good team that responds competently and diversely to students and customers. (Original) Sehr gutes Team, das kompetent und vielfältig auf die Studenten und Kunden eingeht.
Great german lessons which really helped me learn fast. Our teacher was excellent at explaining everything and made each lesson fun and interesting! Would definitely recommend.
I have had great experiences with Vox. I have taken the A1 and A2 courses. Both instructors have been thorough and practiced excellent pedagogical techniques. I highly recommend this language school.
I've worked for VOX for more than two years now. The best thing, among others, is probably a highly motivated team. Every single person here works hard and always tries to improve, including the back office, teachers and the owners of the school who work so hard themselves to offer high quality and well organized courses with personal care. Challenging and live working environment. Highly recommend!
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.
(Translated by Google) I’m just an ordinary person who enjoys exploring Google Street View. At first, I only wanted to see if there were any Street View images of the Central Polybahn (the funicular station platform). By chance, I clicked into this place and discovered something really fun. I have to say—it’s incredibly creative! Even though I live far away in Asia, I still find this so refreshing and delightful. Truly a wonderful idea! I’m just someone who enjoys browsing on Google Street View. I actually just wanted to see if there were any pictures of the Central Polybahn platform—and then I landed here by chance. Really funny and super creative! Even though I live far away in Asia, I find this totally refreshing and somehow really beautiful.

Ich bin einfach jemand, der gerne auf Google Street View rumstöbert. Eigentlich wollte ich nur schauen, ob es Bilder vom Central Polybahn-Bahnsteig gibt – und dann bin ich zufällig hier gelandet. Richtig witzig und super kreativ! Auch wenn ich weit weg in Asien wohne, finde ich das total erfrischend und irgendwie voll schön.
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.
Very efficient and skilled teacher. I recommend
I have done my A1 and A2 language courses with Yana. She is a very professional teacher and I learned a lot thanks to her. Great learning experience!
I'm on my second course learning German with vox and enjoying every minute of it! Had 3 different teachers so far and each of them have been super knowledgeable and bring a clear structure to the course, while also keeping an eye on the progress of the students, making sure that they are understanding the topics. Definitely recommend.
I attended a private A2 German course online and never had any kind of issue. Teacher (Yana) was very professional and always available for the explanations. I learned a lot attending that course. Likely I'll start another course afther the sommer break.
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.
