Thanks for the 5 stars, Andrew! - Laura
What a great course for learning German. I have been struggling with understanding how German sentence structure works and Laura goes over all of this with you.
Thrilled to hear you've found such value in my course, Andrew! Thanks for the kind review. - Laura
My daughter was learning German using Rosetta Stone. And her homeschool program has tests each unit that seems to get harder and harder. The Rosetta Stone we used was mainly pictures and you just guess what they are doing with the pictures and there's no explanations whatsoever especially in grammar. It was so frustrating. Laura's German grammar course really helped us and it answered a lot of our questions.
Thrilled to hear the course has been so helpful for your daughter, April. No explanation with the content getting harder and harder is definitely a recipe for frustration (and disaster!). Thanks for sharing her experience. - Laura
Amazing program, easy to understand and covers everything I have been asking that no one could answer. Each section is carefully planned and made bitesize for ease of understanding without overwhelming.
There is nothing better than getting your questions answered, Yin! So glad you've found answers through my course and that you have enjoyed the overall structure. Thanks for the kind review! - Laura
I have been on Duolingo for several years; my vocabulary is very good but my detail is not. So far (2 weeks) I have found that repetition is so beneficial. Laura is a wonderful teacher. Give German with Laura a try. It's well worth it.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Robert! So glad the course has been a good fit for you. I can't wait to hear of all your success! - Laura
Laura helped me to see patterns and make sense of a lot of things in German. The explanations were clear and the repetitive practice was very helpful. It would have been helpful to have some of the keys points from each lesson available in note form (otherwise, when you want to go back and review some of the concepts, you have to watch the whole video again.
So glad you enjoyed the course, Joanie. Thanks for the additional feedback on having a quick overview included with the lessons. I will see if that is something that can be added in the next update! - Laura
Laura's truly unique way of breaking down and organising the overwhelming (for me...) complexity of German grammar into a much simpler system/framework was the boost I needed to finally learn the language after years of just winging it. I fully recommend giving it a try!
Thrilled to hear my course and methods have been so helpful, Chris. Thank you for studying with me! - Laura
Laura’s tools and presentation are really the difference for me. The Gender Hierarchy took my comprehension of German from memorization to learning the language. Understanding the mono and poly syllables and the plural pathways (where I’m at now) are giving me a solid understanding and I’ve noticed when I read German, it makes much more sense. I’m excited and ready for more.
So glad my course is helping things to come together for you, Ralph! That's such great progress. Thanks for studying with me! - Laura
Looked at many sources for German online , books and German Colleagues but found Laura’s German Grammar course and teaching aids to be the best. Her approach gives it structure and logic and for me this is the best way for me to learn. I am dyslexic and struggled with my native English so this is brilliant for me 🤩🤩
Thrilled to hear my course has been such a good fit, especially after you looked in so many other places! Thanks for studying with me. -Laura
Laura is a phenomenal teacher. She is able to clearly and succinctly explain grammar concepts that are so important to learning any language. Thanks to Foundations 1, I feel prepared to start speaking simple German, but also very motivated to start studying Foundations 2!
Thanks for your kind words, Cheryl! So glad German Foundations has helped you feel more prepared, and I would love to see you in GF2! - Laura
I'm loving this course. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to learn German.
Wonderful to hear you are enjoying the experience! Thanks for studying with me. - Laura
Laura is wonderful at Explaining things. I feel excited about whats ahead, always looking forward to watching the next online video to see what else I can learn about German. Thanks Laura.
Thanks for the kind review, Gary. Feeling excitement while learning can go a long way in motivation, and I am thrilled you are enjoying the course! - Laura
Before this course, I never truly understood essential topics like noun genders or the case endings for "der" and "ein" words. Despite trying many free resources, I always felt confused—until I found Laura’s German Fundamentals Course. Laura has a magical way of teaching that makes everything finally click. She shares unique hints and tricks that I’ve never seen explained elsewhere, breaking down complex topics like the case system and declension patterns into simple, manageable steps. I really recommend this course for anyone starting to learn Deutsch. It’s an absolute game-changer!
Thanks for the review, Christian! I am thrilled to hear my course and methods have helped German feel more manageable. Keep up the great work! - Laura
Laura is so great at explaining concepts in an engaging manner. It's the best foreign language instruction I've ever had!
Thrilled to hear you are enjoying the course, Amanda, and finding the instruction valuable! Thanks for studying with me! - Laura
Good for complete beginners that need a structured approach.
Thanks for the review, Noah, and sharing your thoughts with others! - Laura
Like many people, I started learning German by using an app on my phone. But it didn’t take very long before what I was “learning” made no sense. There was no explanation for why certain word groupings were used or why certain articles were used in place of others. I stumbled onto Laura’s free “Unlocking German Grammar” course. Though limited in scope, I saw that she has the ability to break down a language with some complicated rules into chunks that were more easily understood. So, for me, it was a logical move to carry on with her paid course, “German Foundations”. As good an instructor as she is, this is not an easy course. You may have to review each video lesson multiple times to get the concept covered in a particular lesson. And there’s lots of exer
So glad you've found value in German Foundations, Ron! Luckily there are rules and patterns to guide us, and you can review the entire course as much as needed. Thanks for studying with me! - Laura
A well planned program of excellent grammar modules quite obviously assembled with care after many years of teaching the language.
Thanks for studying with me, Emmanuel, and for your kind words! Thrilled you are finding value in the course. - Laura
Learning German language can be intimidating. Using German with Laura approaches learning rather differently with unique but detailed visual charts, with in-depth knowledge transfer and thoroughly explained fundamentals and concepts that can only come from an expert that she is. I can recommend her methods to anyone out there who is lost in the confusion and struggling to make progress while "learning in tears" elsewhere. Thank you Laura for demystifying and making German language fan to learn and a wonderful experience.
No more learning in tears! So glad you are studying with me, and thanks for the kind words. - Laura
I recently completed Laura’s German Foundations 1 course and have now gone on enthusiastically to her German Foundations 2 course. I unfortunately had terrible German teachers in high school and college, which turned me off from learning the language. Finally, I have found a fantastic German teacher. Laura is phenomenally organized, clear, methodical, systematic, enthusiastic, and fun in her teaching. And most importantly, she has the rare quality of being a remarkably EMPATHETIC instructor. That is, she immediately recognizes what concepts are especially challenging for her students and pays special attention to bridge those conceptual gaps. Laura’s German Foundations 1 course was unquestionably worth the cost in money and effort. Although I have only just begun her German Foundations 2 course, I’m already certain that that course will also have been completely worthwhile, with money well spent.
So thankful you gave German another chance and that my courses have been so helpful! Thanks for the kind review! - Laura
This is the only course that I have attended thus far that teaches grammar in a systematic way that is easy to understand and makes sense to beginners like me.
Thrilled to hear German grammar is coming together for you, Kian. Keep up the wonderful work and thanks for studying with me! - Laura
