So 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.

Essential to learning the German language Two years into German on Duolingo, I've learned a lot but am constantly aware of the need to understand German grammar. You can get through Duolingo without understanding the rules of a language but you will be severely limited in your ability to understand and speak the language. German with Laura provides that missing, vital element in a clear, logical, easy to follow manner. I'm a bit more than 25% o the way through her German Foundations 1 course and it is proving to be well worth the price. Laura is an excellent teacher and the course is very well designed and presented.

A different approach to the German language… A different approach to the difficulties of German with organization that I have not seen elsewhere including a chart of endings that help with figuring out noun gender. It does stress some memory but not the rote memory of learning the gender of each noun. I have just begun with her and am at page 5 of one of her books. 3 books are sold for $25 total and appear necessary to me to go with her course.

Laura’s teaching techniques are first class I have struggled with German grammar for a while and Laura explains complicated principles in way that makes sense. Her methods of teaching help you to learn German in a more efficient way, compared to traditional teaching methods. Thank you so much Laura. Your course is worth every penny. Only yesterday, on a traditional course, it was suggested I learn gender with each noun. Having started your course, I know there is a better way…

Finally some help and things that made sense!! Hello, I moved to German about a year ago. I have been doing Duolingo for a number of years and also have been in a full time intensive German course (5 days a week, 4 hours a day) to get to B1. I have been so frustrated with my progress and trying to understand how things fit together. There didn't seems to be any systems or strategies that I could find to help. I felt is was "you just need to learn through memory and repetition. I was very disheartened. Then I came across Laura's free introduction models. I did them I finally felt I had someone to help! That could break it down into bite size learning, that could give me some tools and structure to help. I can't recommend Laura's course more highly. I am half way through the Foundations course and am looking forward the next course. Thank you Laura.
