This was perfect for me. Why? Laura's course hit the target on everything I ever wanted to know. I have lived in Frankfurt for a long time ~speaking~ German but I now have to ~write~ German as well. Native Germans cannot explain to me how to get those word endings, how to ~feel~ that Male, Female, Neuter stuff. Native German speakers (my dear German wife, my super German daughter for example) do not understand the problem. Laura does.

I took Laura's German for English speakers course in early 2021 and it was SO useful. She helped me figure out exactly what I was hoping to understand - declension patterns, noun endings, pronouns and prepositions. This was the stuff I was really struggling with as an English speaker living in Germany (and struggling to get out to practice due to the pandemic!) Laura has a wonderful teaching style that helps you feel relaxed but also focused, and the exercises she includes are very handy too. I even started enjoying practicing this stuff once I went through Laura's course! Highly recommended for any English speaker who's mastered 'the basics' of German vocab but needs help with the tricky-but-critical grammar stuff.

I am currently working my way through 'German Foundations' course with Laura. The Resource Guide & Workbook, are very and easy to understand. Along with the online videos, which a like being in a lecture. In the videos Laura explains all the concepts very clearly. You can also ask questions at the end of each section in a written form.

Working through Laura's Foundations course removed many of the roadblocks I had struggled with for years! I'm forever grateful!!

Four stars because I have not yet finished the course. I would say it is a helpful course and better than trying to hobble together the information from different sources. Very good helping with basic gramme as unlike Europeans the UK education system (or the bit that taught me) ignored grammar. Try the free courses Laura does and if you like her style - I did - go for it. But remember there is no magic bullet

When I took Laura's German Foundations grammar course around March of this year. I knew a handful of German words and really wanted to understand German grammar. When I started searching for a course, I was worried I would not find a teacher engaging enough, nor a course thorough enough to really make me understand daunting German grammar. I stumbled across Laura through Youtube, went through her English grammar course, and then purchased her Foundations course shortly after. Completing The Foundations and English Grammar course took me about a month, and I put in minimum three hours a day to complete it. (Albeit, after I finished her homework I made my own) Her dynamic attitude drew me to her lessons, and her explanations were crystal clear in their simplicity. She provides both lectures, worksheets, and worksheet reviews. All of which get you to actively try out what she teaches, which further ingrains your understanding of the concepts. If you need additional help, her response never takes more than 24hrs. Laura's class is the best example of "teachers who love teaching teach students to love learning." German grammar became a lot less daunting when Laura explained it in terms of "slots" and colour-organised cases. The only thing I would like to advise speculating students of is probably the English grammar course. It's free and I HIGHLY recommend native English speakers go through that course first. It may seem redundant but it really explains all the complex grammatical terms you may not be familiar with. When you understand how grammar works in English you get the benefit of comparing it to how German grammar works and finding and understanding those differences/similarities really enhances the concepts Laura brings up. She compares English grammar briefly in some lessons, but I felt the English grammar course really gave me a more rounded/foolproof understanding of German grammar. I'm now approaching B1 German now, I cannot thank her enough for my grammar foundations. I may struggle with my vocabulary, but I never struggle with grammar. I truly recommend her course to anyone terrified, intrigued, or intimidated by German grammar, Laura clears everything up!

Being African American and in my 50's, it was very difficult to grasp the grammar side of the German language, especially being out of school for so many years. Remember, if you want to seriously learn any language, You Must Learn The Grammar! Laura's course is a Rosetta Stone. It broke down the grammar aspect in ways it's very easy to understand. Thanks Laura ;)

Laura herself is a congenial instructor who cares about individual students and REALLY wants you to learn German. This course was perfect for me.
