German with LauraReviews of germanwithlaura.com

I love the all in one declensions chart because instead of several charts I have just 1 now. This is therefore much easier to learn. She explains exactly how to use it of course. So for that alone I decided to learn German with her content. The free content on the blog and the free course showed me how grammar actually works, in ways you can understand without much trouble. And the 1st paid course covered again the grammar in easy to understand and step by step. I learned a ton and best of all the terminology and tables/charts, etc., don't confuse me anymore. My personal preference was to study the free stuff first. So then the paid course was much easier and quicker to follow because I already had a general idea of things.

The course is very useful and easy to understand. After each lesson has a little quiz which helps me to strengthen the understanding of it. I'm now not afraid of using 'der', 'die' & 'das' and learning the gender now. REALLY, no need to memorize it. Laura really has a simple principle for us to distinguish the gender of the vocabulary. Thank you very much, Laura.

As a retired elementary teacher with 32 years experience, I know what a great educator is and Laura is it! I've tried Rosetta Stone, all the German apps, online courses, you name it, I've tried it. Even though I'm in the early stages of German Foundations, Laura has a way of breaking the German language down so you are not so overwhelmed! She's the real deal! Try it, what have you got to lose?

The foundation course has provided me with a light bulb moment, rekindled my interest in learning German and provided me with the tools to understand the rhymes and reasons of the German language. I had been learning lots of vocabulary via free online platforms but was constantly frustrated by the lack of why. This course has resolved that issue. The course delivery is very engaging and Laura provides all the resources necessary to progress my learning. I am thoroughly enjoying the course and am more confident in my ability to understand and speak the German language

After hitting a few of the shortcomings in a paid Duolingo subscription, an on-line search led me to Laura's site. Laura's free 1-hour sample will give you a good idea of her approach. Before you pay, she tells you "learning German is hard!" She is not exaggerating... however, her approach is, imo, the best if your intent is to actually learn, speak, read and write the language properly, not just hack your way through it. Instead of diving in and learning words... and guessing your way through use of language elements, Laura teaches you the basic foundations, or principles of the language so that you understand the "why" and the "how" to get to the proper phrasing. German is a very complex language, I am about halfway through the first paid course, and I already know I will be taking the second. After that, I am going to make the investment in on-line instruction.

I am a native English speaker, and I have been living in Germany for 3 years. And during this time I have taken up to A2 German classes. I struggled with grasping the concept of Dative and Akkusitive cases, and no matter how the cases were explained, nothing made sense, and nothing stuck. Until I found Laura's course. I realized that for 3 years, German grammar was ONLY explained to me by German professors. As a native English speaker, I had a different grammar foundation then them, so it was never explained in a way that I understood. My advice I would give is, if you are a native English speaker wanting to learn German, have German grammar explained by a native English speaker. It changes EVERYTHING.

breaks down and simplifies grammar with easy to use tools. I was using dueling and some of the other app-based formats but they do not explain grammar will if at all.

Get this course! Whether you: 1) Are new to German - this course is what you need because, as the name says, it sets the Foundation that you want and need moving forward. 2) Have been studying German already - this course will clear up those confusions we inevitably face, and get you on the right track to advance. I've seen a fair amount of German learning materials and methods before - but this course is unique in explaining how German works. Laura has created an innovative approach that makes sense - and works!
