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.

The course has been helpful… 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

Takes the guesswork out of German I‘m so pleased to have found German With Laura because Laura lays the grammar foundations and fills the grammar holes that I have experienced with Duolingo. I started learning German online as an adult simply for brain training but found quickly that a grammar course was necessary in order to elevate my language learning from merely rote learning on an app to a working understanding of the nuts and bolts of basic German sentences. Laura‘s German Foundation 1 really delivers this in clear bite sized lessons. The more Laura lessons I take, the less I‘m just guessing on that pesky app. I can whole heartedly recommend German with Laura. I‘m certainly thinking about taking the next course German Foundations 2 next.

Great way to learn German I am in the midst of Laura's German Foundations Two. It is well worth the price of admission. I personally find some of the fine points of German grammar to be difficult, but on her videos Laura discusses them clearly with examples, as well as practice exercises. The great thing is you can watch each video as often as you want to aid in your understanding, and questions you submit are promptly answered. The Resource Guide book, with its charts and shortcuts, is awesome.

What makes Laura great What makes Laura great? She cares about her students and follows up to see how they are progressing in her courses. She explains things well and also improves your confidence level, before even tackling the language itself. Would you rather dive right into the language? No. I would rather be given the confidence from the teacher, before diving right in.
