German with LauraReviews of germanwithlaura.com

Really it is an empowering experince and I really like it because it is motivating to continue learning German confidently.

Laura's German Foundations course provided an exceptional introduction to my German learning journey. The course's meticulous structure allowed for a deep dive into various topics at a manageable pace, making complex concepts easy to grasp. The inclusion of a comprehensive workbook filled with exercises further reinforced learning, with Laura's clear guidance steering the way. However, my experience was somewhat marred by the marketing approach. While initially satisfied with the first German Foundations course, I was disappointed to discover a second, more comprehensive course only after purchasing the initial one. Laura's website fails to mention the existence of the second course, and links to it are only found within GF1. Throughout the first course, Laura repeatedly alludes to topics being covered more extensively in GF2, leaving me wishing for clearer upfront communication about the full range of offerings. Despite this drawback, I've found both Unlocking German Grammar and GF1 immensely valuable in jump-starting my German language journey. I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone embarking on a similar path.

I first found German with Laura on YouTube, and at that time I was hesitant to purchase German Foundations I. I wanted to learn German smarter, not harder. However, after doing extensive research and trying out different materials, teachers, and resources for learning German, I can say that Laura's German Foundations is hands down everything you could wish for and more! Laura is a one-of-a-kind teacher. My only regret is not purchasing this course sooner. It's the perfect way to build all the necessary foundation you need to master the German language. Vielen Dank, Laura!

Hello, I moved to German about a year ago. I have been doing Duolingo for a number of years and also have been in a full time intensive German course (5 days a week, 4 hours a day) to get to B1. I have been so frustrated with my progress and trying to understand how things fit together. There didn't seems to be any systems or strategies that I could find to help. I felt is was "you just need to learn through memory and repetition. I was very disheartened. Then I came across Laura's free introduction models. I did them I finally felt I had someone to help! That could break it down into bite size learning, that could give me some tools and structure to help. I can't recommend Laura's course more highly. I am half way through the Foundations course and am looking forward the next course. Thank you Laura.

"Where do I even begin? Miss Laura's German grammar course has truly changed my life. 🌟 As someone who once felt utterly defeated by the complexities of language learning, I can't express enough gratitude for stumbling upon this course. With each lesson, Miss Laura's guidance and expertise have not only helped me grasp German grammar but have reignited a sense of hope and excitement within me. Learning with her feels like having a supportive mentor by my side, cheering me on every step of the way. It's more than just a course; it's a journey of self-discovery and empowerment. Thank you, Miss Laura, for giving me the confidence to pursue my language-learning dreams. You're a true inspiration." Ma'am thank you thank you very much. Ma'am you are my ideal person literally I am writing this review and my tears fall. You make my dreams alive.

Be aware I have only just started the course [module 1] but am loving the clear and methodical approach which has already gone a long way to demystify the noun gender issue. Great exercises to test my comprehension. Also impressed with the "Discussion" option. Answers are always received very promptly with bags of encouragement. I didn't quite see enough information about how far this course will take me. I was sucked in by the free "unblocking" course but ,after doing that, I was confident enough to take a punt and pay for "Foundations1" and haven't regretted it. Some reviews say it's expensive but I think it stands up well against other paid courses. Having run into the buffers with Duolingo after a 6 month long daily session [great to start with] I concluded I needed to get to grips with the grammar [absent on Duo] before I could get further benefit from a free app learning system. Anyway, Laura is fun. I hope I don't have to invest in too many courses before I can return to a free "immersive" system. After all, I am learning this language recreationally, because most of my holidays are in Germany/Austria/Switzerland and would like to "make the effort" I don't aspire one of those Brits. who just shout slowly and loudly in English.

Excellent course with a unique and novel approach to learning a difficult language
