German with LauraReviews of germanwithlaura.com

I have struggled with German for a year despite the best efforts of a home tutor. Laura Bennett's German Course starts by focussing on two essentials - word order and the four genders (join up to learn about the 4th gender!). She advises against rote learning, encouraging instead learning by assimilation. Similarly, vocabulary can wait till the structures are in place. Laura's approach is fresh, vibrant and interesting. There is a quiz at the end of each video. Highly recommended.

If you really want to learn German this is the course you want to take. Learning German grammar first is the key to being a fluent speaker. This course teaches you that so when learning new words you already know how to put them in complete sentences. This is the key to success. Thanks Laura

Learning German with Laura is the best I’ve ever found. She’s the perfect teacher, using the perfect method and she makes it fun! What more could you want! She willingly offers a lot of free content so that no one needs to blindly pay for a course not knowing what kind of teaching they’ll get. She’s amazing but humble; a wonderful combination. I highly recommend Laura and her methods.

I had taken two semesters of German in college (forty years ago). Laura has now enriched my experience in a new way of learning how to speak German. Brilliant, yet easy to understand and follow.

I spent a lot of time looking online for German lessons and came across German with Laura. There was a free introductory lesson which I thought that I would look at and glad that I did. Laura’s enthusiasm and style of teaching is brilliant, all of the things that I was struggling with suddenly became a whole lot easier. I would highly recommend German with Laura to anyone who was either like myself starting out learning German or if you learnt before and want to get back into it. With a free introductory lesson what have you got to lose?

As someone with zero experience in German, after completing the Foundation course, I now have a very good understanding of German. I know there is still a long way to go, but I now have the tools to differentiate word gender, understand the case system and verb endings, and create basic sentences. As a Chinese who speaks English and Japanese, as secondary languages, I understand the importance of building a solid foundation of grammar before moving onto something more complex. This will speed up the future learning. Laura has managed to explain the German grammar in a scientific and structured way, and being scientific is very good for a beginner like myself. I recommend the German Foundations to anyone who is pondering over kicking off German learning while being intimidated by the legendary myriads of pains in German learning. The legend is true, but Laura will come save you with a magic wand. I'm also looking forward to seeing more courses (intermediate German perhaps?) from Laura.

German with Laura has been a great experience. The lessons are well planned and Laura has a great understanding of German grammar. The tips on how to remember if a noun is masculine, feminine or neuter are very helpful. The basics of sentence structure are very important when learning German since word order is completely different in English.

I found German with Laura while looking for ways to understand the German declensions, this was for me the hardest part of the German language. I began reading her free material and I instantly liked her approach, she manages to simplify difficult topics into manageable concepts. I took her free course "Unlocking German Grammar" and the content really made sense to me and I really enjoyed her teaching style. After a few days I decided to take the plunge and I buy her paid course "German Foundations", looking back I am so happy I did! She designed a chart that contains all declensions in a simplified and easy way to learn and remember. She also goes through other topics like Personal Pronouns, word genders and more, always using the "all in one German declensions chart". After going through the course a couple of times I can now choose the right declension every time and I stopped suffering with this topic. Thank you Laura!
