German with LauraReviews of germanwithlaura.com

Raised in the US. I’ve been 9 times to Germany to visit family. I’ve always struggle with the language. Missed a lot of old stories & good jokes. I stumbled upon Laura’s course and so glad I did. The way she explains it, you understand how it all fits together. With her method of teaching, it just makes sense. It’s a lot to process but I now understand how I can speak in the correct format. Just finish LG1. Looking forward to LG2.

I am using Duolingo as a beginner learning German. I subscribed to Laura's German Foundations. What a great supplement. She is an excellent teacher and very helpful in beginning to understand the differences between English and German. So glad I purchased this. It certainly has helped build my confidence.

This course is absolutely incredible! I came across it when I realized that I had no idea how to construct sentences in German. The language apps I was using don't do any teaching, assuming you can figure out the rules for yourself. Laura is an excellent teacher and brings you through the details of German grammar rules in a logical manner, using short video modules and workbooks. She explains things very clearly, so it's easy to follow her. There are ample examples and many practice drills. She has created unique tables and other aids to help you learn noun genders, plurals, breaking a sentence down into segments, verb conjugations, and so on. I am almost finished with the course and will also sign up for the 2nd course. This course has substantially exceeded my expectations, and I am so excited about the outcomes!

Laura is an absolutely brilliant teacher and that assessment is coming from someone who spent her 30 year career as a teacher. She is clear, extremely well organized, and has figured out how to present this material in an approachable and usable way. Bravo!

I stumbled upon German Foundations with Laura when I hit a roadblock with Duolingo. I couldn't determine when to use "der/die/das" properly and Duo really doesn't explain the whys. I had no idea what a declension was or how to determine the gender of nouns. Laura essentially takes the student by the hand and guides you through step by step on the process. She makes an undaunting task manageable and not so scary. There are multiple opportunities for practice and her charts (which are genius in my opinion) make remembering word endings a little more simple as opposed to remembering loads of charts used in traditional teaching. And customer service is excellent. Each time I had a question, they were very prompt (usually less than 24 hours) with a reply and rationale for the answer.

Astonishing course. How to integrate my basis of German. German is structured so diffenrently from from my two languages (native French and English). This course has changed my approach. It was a foreign language. It is becoming part of me. Very efficient.

The best grammar course I've ever seen. Clear explanations with tons of examples, and exercises.

I love this woman! She taught me more in the first day than I learned on Duolingo in three months! Things you really need to know BEFORE diving in! Great course!
