Cursos de Francés en Zúrich, Winterthur y Online

(Translated by Google) I took a “super-intensive” online course. My French teacher Sébastien made the lessons very varied and exciting. I was able to ask questions about any grammar topic or vocabulary and this was then looked at together with Sébastien and explained in an understandable way. I also found the small talks in French with Sébastien very helpful and pleasant. I was able to learn a lot and will be taking the DALF C1 exam in about six weeks. The free trial lesson with the teacher Nathalie in Winterthur also convinced me and I also found the location of the school very good. The only thing I have to complain about was the organization until a French group course at C1 level could be found. The administration staff were all friendly, but I originally wanted to attend a group course in Winterthur from mid-August, but for example I was given... T. only received an answer by email about once a week and then finally attended an online course from the beginning of September. In retrospect, I found it very good online because the lessons themselves were extremely educational. That's why I would still like to take a course at the Vox language school again. :) (Original) Ich habe einen „super-intensiven“ Onlinekurs besucht. Mein Französisch-Lehrer Sébastien hat den Unterricht sehr abwechslungsreich und spannend gestaltet. Ich konnte zu jedem Grammatik-Thema oder zum Wortschatz Fragen stellen und dies wurde dann gemeinsam mit Sébastien angeschaut und verständlich erklärt. Die Smalltalks auf Französisch mit Sébastien fand ich auch ganz hilfreich und angenehm. Ich konnte sehr viel lernen und werde in etwa sechs Wochen die DALF C1-Prüfung absolvieren. Die kostenlose Probelektion mit der Lehrerin Nathalie in Winterthur hat mich ebenfalls überzeugt und die Lage der Schule habe ich auch sehr gut gefunden. Das einzige, was ich etwas bemängeln muss, war die Organisation bis ein Französisch-Gruppenkurs auf C1-Niveau gefunden werden konnte. Die Mitarbeiter der Administration waren zwar alle freundlich, jedoch wollte ich ursprünglich ab Mitte August einen Gruppenkurs in Winterthur besuchen, aber bekam z. T. nur etwa einmal pro Woche eine Antwort per Mail und besuchte dann schliesslich einen Onlinekurs ab Anfang September. Im Nachhinein habe ich es online aber auch sehr gut gefunden, weil die Lektionen an sich äusserst lehrreich aufgebaut waren. Deshalb würde ich dennoch gerne wieder einen Kurs bei der Vox Sprachschule besuchen. :)

I highly recommend taking your German classes at VOX. And even more so I recommend requesting Alexander Lips as your teacher. Over the last year or so I've taken a few classes with Alexander (B1, B2, C1) and I've waited to make a review as I've been gate keeping his greatness. He is the best language instructor I've ever had and the most passionate. It is hard to stay motivated to study a language and it's hard to attend an evening course after work. But this isn't the case in Alexander's class. His expertise is inspiring. The course was completely tailored to our goals and our motivations. We explored poetry, books and presentations, all of which was frankly fun and enriching. We learned grammar, practiced speaking and reading, all while learning about history and art. I can also say I've read two books in German now which is super satisfying and it also gives me more to talk about to my friends in German. If anything I wish I had more time to learn and take advantage of Alexander's great instruction. Another very unique skill of Alexander's is his deep understanding of etymology and applying the skill to make words stick in your mind. He can break down words into components to then make connections to others words, languages, history, or stories. He shows the patterns to look for to do the same. There are words I'll never forget because he took the time to really give us the depth of the word. Such a talent to have! Huge thank you to VOX for such great organization and a huge thank you to Alexander for all the work and care he puts in his instruction. So, if you've read to here you should really go register already for a course!

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!

Here is my honest review of VOX Sprachschule Winterthur: I have taken two courses (B1 and B2 German) with Vox and I have had a very positive experience so far. I have recommended Vox to a close friend of mine as well. My teachers at Vox were some of the best I’ve had. Each lesson plan is organised, the class sizes are small, and the teachers are highly educated. I am currently taking B2 German with Daniel M. The lessons are organised and structured letting you know which concepts are covered. This makes it easy to look back and practice on your own. My teacher does a great job breaking down German grammar principles into simple components and explaining the rules involved in sentence structure and conversation. My language acquisition is quicker and easier thanks to this method of teaching. He pays extra attention to making sure your pronunciation is correct when speaking. This has improved my communication skills greatly. The reading, writing, and conversational exercises are very helpful. Overall this course continues to give me the tools to become fluent in German. I have previously taken B1 with VOX as well, and I was also impressed with my former teacher, Alys B.-C. We learned in a structured yet stress-free manner. It was easy to speak to my other classmates online. I appreciated the instructor's detailed notes, conversation, handouts, and written exercises. I would definitely take another Vox class again. It is worth the price. The teachers are supportive and you can e-mail them outside of class time. The school is flexible so working and learning is not a problem. The staff checks in with you to make sure your feedback about your class is taken into consideration. My understanding of German has vastly improved. My ability to read, write, and speak are much better than before. Overall Vox Sprachschule Winterthur gets a 5/5 for me.

(Translated by Google) The course is incredible. It helps to learn and understand the German language in every respect. (Original) Der Kurs ist unglaublich. Es hilft die deutsche Sprache in jeder Hinsicht zu lernen und zu verstehen.

(Translated by Google) Top advice before registration and the support was also great during the course. Always communicated well and informed. We had to change course at short notice and the school found a solution very quickly and easily. The teacher (Olga) always took the necessary time and explained the school material very well. (Original) Topp Beratung vor der Anmeldung und auch während dem Kurs war die Betreuung super. Immer super kommuniziert und informiert. Wir mussten kurzfristig den Kurs ändern und die Schule hat sehr schnell und unkompliziert eine Lösung gefunden. Die Lehrerin (Olga) hat sich immer die nötige Zeit genommen und den Schulstoff sehr gut rüber gebracht.

(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) In addition to a central location and a motivated and qualified team, Vox offers a results-based method that quickly leads to speaking. This approach was new to me as a teacher and as a student and immediately impressed me. (Original) Neben einem zentralen Standort und einem motivierten und qualifizierten Team, bietet Vox eine ergebnisbezogene Methode, welche schnell zum Sprechen führt. Dieser Ansatz war für mich als Lehrer sowie als Schüler neu und hat mich auf Anhieb begeistert.

Locations is perfect! Teachers are very professional and just cool ;) Recommend this school in any aspect!

(Translated by Google) The Vox language school always tried to respond to my needs and wishes. Ms. Houria Merrad, my French teacher, was very professional and encouraged me to carry on even when things got difficult - with complete success. Always my pleasure! (Original) Die Vox-Sprachschule hat sich stehts bemüht auf meine Bedürfnisse & Wünsche einzugehen. Frau Houria Merrad meine Französisch Lehrerin war sehr professionel und hat mich auch wenns schwierig wurde - stehts aufgemuntert weiterzumachen - mit vollem Erfolg. Immer wieder gerne!

(Translated by Google) Professional and committed teachers and a generally pleasant atmosphere. Only recommended! (Original) Professionelle und engatierte Lehrer*innen und allgemein eine angenehme Atmosphäre. Nur zu empfehlen!

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
