GBGerman Foundations should be the go-to method German Foundations is a life saver! Laura's methodology has made German grammar MUCH easier to understand and drastically reduces the amount of memorization needed. I still have a lot of work to do to recall everything on the fly, but this course receives a well-earned recommendation from me.

GBA step-change in learning German! I studied German in high school and have tried picking it up on and off again over the last twenty years without much success - until now. For the first time, I have started to understand the rules behind the grammar, instead of just trying to memorise set combinations. I’ve loved this course and feel really like it’s been a step-change in my learning. I don‘t know why it isn‘t taught this way all the time!

GBI started German foundations 1 and… I started German foundations 1 and finished with a wealth of knowledge. Now taking German Foundations 2, and wow is it so worth it. The teaching style is really second to none. Laura is such an awesome teacher. I would recommend these course to anyone wanting to start this journey, its simple to get started, and the course literature is even free for downloading, or they offer all the books at a ridiculous low price. The support that is given is so wonderful, it makes you feel like your learning with a family.

GBSo far, so GREAT! 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.
