(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.
Great experience. Teachers are way above any expectation and teaching method is simple effective. Merci
I'm really happy with my German A2 course at VOX. From the start, they were super helpful in finding a class that fit my schedule. My teacher, Linda, is fantastic. She explains grammars and vocabularies to understand better from our perspective and just makes it easier for us to learn. She's always supportive and really cares about the students to improve. Great experience and I will come back here for my next level course!
Very happy with Vox. It is worth the price. We were in a small group (3 students), our teacher Michael is very patient and adapts to the class' skills and knowledge. The rythm is good, it's not boring, we had fun during the classes, and I feel I made real progress.
(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.
I am super happy with my experience with VOX. The online intensive three-month course has helped me greatly, and I like how small the classes are. My teacher Anna is just fantastic! Super motivating, helpful, and truly wants us to succeed on our language journey ☺️ I highly recommend VOX
I honestly have to say I’m truly satisfied by the course you are providing. Cristina is a highly professional teacher and she really cares about our improvements. She is always at your disposal for any request and despite the limited time available she does manage to organize the lessons in order to cover both theory and practice. In addition, I think there is a perfect balancing of homework load, always with a view to the achievements of the objectives required to prepare for the A1 exam.
I did the online Zoom VOX German A1 course and I am glad I did. I learned a lot from the course and despite my initial reservations in paying to do the course I am very glad I did because I learned a lot more this way. The teacher Alice was excellent throughout and always on hand to help out; she explained things clearly and was lways open to questions . What I thought was very good was she emails us the lesson in a pdf after the lesson and I have the 24 lessons we did and I can easily go back through the material easily again. When I am ready, I will do my A2 with Vox again and hopefully the same teacher, Alice.
(Translated by Google) I'm very satisfied with the language course – the teachers are very professional and I was able to greatly improve my English skills. Thank you so much! (Original) Bin sehr zufrieden mit dem Sprachkurs - Die Leher sind sehr professionell und ich konnte meine Englischkenntnisse dadurch stark verbessern. Vielen Dank!
(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!
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) A great language school, the teachers are very knowledgeable, the staff are helpful and the teaching methods are very good. (Original) Eine Tolle Sprachschule die Lehrpersonen sind sehr Vlecksiebel , die Lehrkräfte sind hilfsbereit und die Lehrmethoden sind sehr gut.
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.
