(Translated by Google) It was an outstanding experience! From the start I felt welcome and in good hands. The teacher Mel is simply fantastic and highly qualified! The lessons were designed to be interesting and interactive. If you want to improve your language skills, this is definitely the right place for you. (Original) Es war eine herausragende Erfahrung! Von Anfang an fühlte ich mich willkommen und gut aufgehoben. Die Lehrerin Mel ist einfach fantastisch und hochqualifiziert! Der Unterricht wurde interessant und interaktiv gestaltet. Wer seine Sprachkenntnisse verbessern möchte, ist hier definitiv an der richtigen Adresse.
Patrick is a fantastic teacher and very responsive to my individual language needs. I really looked forward to my lessons. Vox is a very professional and efficient language school. I highly recommend for serious learners.
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.
(Translated by Google) I can only agree with the positive reviews. Everything goes perfectly, from the first contact to the lesson. I'm currently doing a Swiss German course. My teacher Silvan has studied languages and addresses the student's strengths and weaknesses. He pays a lot of attention to little things. The lessons are relaxed and really fun. After six weeks I have already made good progress which motivates me further. I can recommend the VOX language school without reservation. (Original) Kann mich den positiven Bewertungen nur anschliessen. Es läuft alles perfekt, vom Erstkontakt bis zum Unterricht. Ich mache gerade einen Schweizerdeutschkurs. Mein Lehrer Silvan hat Sprachen studiert und geht auf die Stärken und Schwächen des Schülers ein. Er achtet sehr auf Kleinigkeiten. Der Unterricht ist locker und macht echt viel Spass. Nach sechs Wochen habe ich schon gute Fortschritte gemacht die mich weiter motivieren. Ich kann die VOX Sprachschule uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen.
I took an online conversational German course with Timo Schenk, and was very pleased with his casual and flexible approach to the course!
I started studying German with Patrick last year, A1 level. I fully recommend him as a teacher. He works with passion, his lessons are interactive and very productive. I am now attending the A2 course and I am very satisfied.
(Translated by Google) I'm currently taking a business English course, as well as individual lessons at the same time. flexible, uncomplicated, solution-oriented! Registration with desired dates is possible, which is what brought me to VOX. Group courses with a maximum of 5 participants ensure quick progress. I can also recommend private lessons. The teachers know how to motivate and are top-notch! (Original) Ich besuche zur Zeit einen Business-Englischkurs, ebenso parallel dazu Einzellektionen. flexibel, unkompliziert, lösungsorientiert! Anmeldung mit Wunschterminen möglich, was mich auch zu VOX gebracht hat. Gruppenkurse mit max. 5 Teilnehmern sorgen für schnelles Weiterkommen. Ebenfalls kann ich Privatlektionen weiterempfehlen. Die Lehrerinnen und Lehrer verstehen es zu motivieren und sind fachlich top!
(Translated by Google) I took the A1 module with Professor Yana and it is certainly the best of all!! The school's method is very busy, which means it's not for everyone, but with Yana's classes twice a week, I felt very encouraged to speak the language (German), in addition to her teaching skills being great. All 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.
Mariia Fedorova is the best teacher! She is so kind and friendly! Absolutely recommend the VOX school and my lovely teacher Maria☺️
I am currently taking German A1 with VOX-Sprachschule and have been very happy with their concept. The small group size and the skillful teacher have made it easy to reach the goals set, and I signed up for the next level without hesitation. Importantly, I travel a lot in my work and have therefore had to miss out on a number of classes, but this has never been an issue. The teacher has kindly provided me with homework for the lessons missed, so that I have had no problems keeping up with the other students. Also from the admin side everything has been very streamlined. All in all, I warmly recommend this language school.
(Translated by Google) I really enjoyed the conversation course with Timo. In the last 12 lessons, Timo has chosen many interesting texts as well as various podcasts about current topics. We were always very motivated to have conversations. I can only recommend this course. (Original) Der Konversationskurs bei Timo hat mir viele Freude gemacht. In den letzten 12 Lektionen hat Timo sowohl viele interesante Texte als auch verschiedene Podcasts über aktuellen Themen gewählt. Damit waren wir immer sehr gut motiviert Konversation zu machen. Ich kann diesen Kurs nur weiterempfehlen.
(Translated by Google) Freundlich, zielgerichtet, zuverlässig, creativity und mit Freude am Werk. Habe wohl Privatunterricht bei der optimalen Lehrerin (I) gebucht. Friendly, purposeful, reliable, serious but not too much, a creative force and with a lot of pleasure at work. I probably booked private lessons with an optimal teacher. (Original) Freundlich, zielgerichtet, zuverlässig, kreativ und mit Freude am Werk. Habe wohl Privatunterricht bei der optimalen Lehrerin (I) gebucht. Amichevole, finalizzata, affidabile, seria ma non troppo, una forza creativa e con molto piacere sul lavoro. Probabilmente ho prenotato lezioni private con una insegnante ottimale.

Finding the right German courses in Zurich
Finding the right language school for a German course in Zurich is not an easy task. The price range is wide and the combination possibilities are endless. So, how do you find the appropriate German course for your specific needs? You have to consider different aspects: personal goals, ideal time frame, size of the group, professionality of the instructors, and ample speaking opportunities. At VOX, we prioritize oral communication: Speaking proficiency is the most important facet to language learning. All other language skills can be built on the basis of speaking, but not vice versa.
Quality, money, and time when learning German
When choosing your German course in Zurich, always ensure that you learn in groups with a maximum of 5 students. In larger groups, the teacher will simply not have enough time to focus on your individual progress. Always check the qualifications of the teacher. Ideally, the teacher should have an academic background in linguistics; otherwise you risk going through an endless cycle of boring grammar exercises (in a book). The teacher will not be able to explain how the language works due to a lack of specialized knowledge. If you choose a course with a native speaker who does not have a university background in linguistics, the learning process will eventually take longer, as the only way you will be learning is by imitation.
With clear grammatical explanations of the structure of the German language, you save valuable time, which can be redirected towards improving your speaking proficiency. That is why the German courses offered by VOX in Zurich only take 1-3 months to cover one full level. We consciously decided not to subdivide our courses into discrete levels, e.g. A1.1, A1.2, A1.3 etc. Our setup allows for German grammar to be integrated extremely fast into actively speaking. If you consider the price of the course as well as the value of your time, you will see that VOX has a very competitive offer on the market, which saves you time and lets you reach your goals straight away. Join a trial lesson and see for yourself.
Group size
The maximum group size is an essential factor for learning efficiently. In large groups, the teacher will have to use group exercises as an economical compromise, since it would be impossible to dedicate enough time to each student personally. In the best-case scenario, the teacher tries to alternate between different groups to create value in the exercise and correct the students’ spoken language. Most of the time, the students are left alone with the responsibility of correcting themselves without receiving any input. In this setup, it is unlikely that the students will learn from their mistakes, but rather that they will copy those made by their fellow classmates. In the long term, this leads to the development of bad linguistic reflexes, which are very difficult to correct. At VOX, we only do exercises that allow the teacher to pay the appropriate amount of attention to every participant.
Psychology, motivation, and learning efficiency
For children, it is easy to learn languages, because they apply a set of strategies that lead to success. If that is the case, why is it so difficult for adults to master a language? The reason lies in the psychological barriers that evolve during adolescence. At VOX, we are aware of that, and we developed a set of strategies to dismantle those barriers and enable you to learn like a child again. Once you know how to actively use the strategies to successfully learn a new language, we will help you discover your intrinsic motivation to learn German. Living in Zurich is very challenging, and there might be many external reasons why you would like to start to learn German. Internal motivation will always be the best driver for language acquisition. We will support you in defining a reason that will genuinely help you learn fast and let you have fun doing so.
Everybody has a strategy to learn languages, but there is scientific evidence on integrating language-related information more efficiently; we will use that knowledge to help you reach maximum learning efficiency.
Different learning targets
Everybody has different goals when booking a German course. Most people would like to strengthen their speaking proficiency for personal reasons, but there are also other grounds for this, such as preparation for an official exam (TELC or Goethe) or improvement of spoken and written communication and establishment of professional vocabulary for work purposes. No matter what goal you have, we, at VOX, tailor the course to your specific needs. The small group size allows for the teacher to factor your goal into the lesson and to bring you to your particular target in the best possible way. We take responsibility for your individual target and will never leave you to struggle by yourself.
Shaping your German course
At VOX you have full flexibility. If you feel like you’re not making any progress or that something is going wrong during your German lessons, we have a quality control department that checks in with you at different times throughout the course. We will always listen to your feedback, and if there is any issue, we will always try to find a fast and appropriate solution. If there are any difficulties with your instructor, you can request to change the teacher at any time of your German course.
Central location
If you intend to book a German course, you will invest money and time, which are precious resources nowadays. We chose a very central location in Zurich, so that you can come to your lessons on your way home or when going to the office. Our school is situated right at Zurich Central and only a couple of minutes by foot from Zurich Main Station in the historic Polybahn building. If you go on a business trip or vacation, you will also be able to join your class remotely with the help of our innovative VOX digital board setup and still enjoy the highest quality of learning.

Many people struggle to learn German due to psychological barriers preventing them from actively speaking. At VOX-Sprachschule, we have developed a methodology that grants you the possibility to overcome whatever difficulties you may encounter when looking for the most efficient way to learn how to speak. Our teachers will constantly pay attention to your individual learning needs, which is guaranteed to make your experience at VOX-Sprachschule a success story.
Speaking is the most natural function of language. If we compare learning languages to learning an instrument, the key to success is practice - practicing playing or, in the case of languages, speaking. Once the connections between your brain and the muscles responsible for speech are established, you can create beautifully sounding sentences. At VOX-Sprachschule, you will learn to speak actively - understanding, reading, and writing will follow.
