The receptive component involves reading, listening, and language comprehension. Tasks may include multiple-choice questions or matching exercises. In the productive segment, which includes writing and speaking, candidates respond to prompts and express themselves either in written form or orally. During the oral examination, the emphasis is on direct interaction between candidates.

I just finished the A2 online course with Lili and could not be happier. With only 4 people in the class, there is plenty of opportunity to speak, something that is difficult in most other schools. We received great personalised feedback as this amount of students is also much more manageable for the teacher. After trying 3 other language schools online and in Zurich, this is the one I will continue my education with.
(Translated by Google) I wanted to learn French and took 20 hours of private lessons with Mr. Sebastien. He was very kind, understanding, and took things slowly. The administration took excellent care of their new students. They called me after the first week to check on me. I left a 4-star review, and the administration called me the very next day to ask what I needed or how they could further assist me. Overall, I was very satisfied with Mr. Sebastien and the VOX administration team. When I have more time again, I would like to continue my lessons. (Original) Ich wollte Französisch lernen und machte dort 20 Stunden Privatunterricht mit dem Herr Sebastien. Sehr nett, verständnisvoll und ging die Sache langsam an. Die Administration kümmerte sich sehr gut um Ihre Neuzugänge. Sie riefen mich nach der ersten Woche an, um zu wissen wie es mir ergeht. Ich machte einmal eine 4-Sterne Bewertung und 1 Tag später rief die Administration direkt mich an um zu fragen was mir fehlte oder wie sie noch behilflich sein können. Im grossen und ganzen war ich sehr zufrieden von Herr Sebastien und dem Administrationsteam von VOX. Wenn ich wieder mehr Zeit habe möchte ich gerne mein Unterricht fortsetzen.
For professional reasons, I enrolled in the course with a ''private'' teacher, Joline. My goal was to be able to erase some mistakes I kept repeating and to hone my skills in dative and accusative. The course was useful, I saw progress in a short time as well as finding a professional, friendly and flexible instructor(Time). I can recommend the course
(Translated by Google) I took the A1 module with teacher Yana and she is certainly the best of all!! The school's method is very rushed, which means it is not for everyone, but with Yana's classes twice a week, I felt very encouraged to speak the language (German), and her teaching method is also excellent. All the teachers have linguistic knowledge. (Original) Fiz o módulo A1 com a professora Yana e certamente é a melhor de todas!! O método da escola é bem corrido, o que significa que não é para qualquer um, mas com as aulas da Yana duas vezes por semana, me senti muito estimulada a falar o idioma (alemão), além da didática dela ser ótima. Conhecimento linguístico todos os professores têm.
(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! (Original) Ich bin mit der Vox Sprachschule sehr zufrieden. Ich habe mich für ein Deutsch C2 Onlinekurs entschieden, und alles lief reibungslos . Meine Lehrerin Isabel ist sehr professionell, sympathisch und es hat auch viel Spass gemacht mit ihr Deutsch zu lernen, so, dass ich am liebsten diesen Kurs weiter machen würde. Die Vox Sprachschule ist auf jeden Fall Empfehlungswert !
Very good results and a great customer service. Will attend future courses.
(Translated by Google) You learn an enormous amount in a short time and achieve rapid success. I highly recommend this school to anyone who wants to master a new language. (Original) Man lernt enorm viel in nur kurzer Zeit und erzielt schnell Erfolge. Ich empfehle diese Schule gerne jedem weiter, der eine neue Sprache beherrschen möchte.
I joined vox-sprachshule with zero Germany word, but after 2 months with Joline, I can proudly introduce myself and create some sentences in Deutsch. I will 100% recommend anyone that wants learn Deutsch to join vox-sprachshule.
(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!
I’m so glad that I found Vox Sprachschule! I strongly recommend this school.
I had the pleasure of attending both a group course and individual private lesson with Vox Sprache. In both cases, I had the opportunity to practise and improve my speaking skills. There is difference between learning theory and actually articulating the language. I like to share that my private lessons with Isabelle have been such a positive experience. She prepared and tailored the lessons specifically for my needs. She was consistently attentive to help me improve my language skills. As a result of this experience, I feel more comfortable communicating with native speakers and better prepared for my B1 mündlichen Prüfung. Thank you Isabelle for not only teaching me but also motivating me throughout the course. Your passion for teaching is filter through in every lesson. Thank you.
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.
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.
