GBGerman with Laura is a unique eye opener! German with Laura is a unique eye opener. Finally someone can teach German grammer in a manner that a dummy like me can grasp. It comes in small chunks that are understandable. The word drills help to make the lesson sink in and the ability to chat and ask questions clears up any misunderstanding. I highly recommend German with Laura for anyone wanting to understand the complex nature of German grammer, making it logical and intuitive. R. Denault

GBInternalize Your German Language Sills This course changes your understanding of all the pieces of German you may be trying to learn elsewhere (Babbel, Duolingo, etc.). Laura's course explains German--the reasons, the rules, the process. Her charts are excellent resources that offer a way to visualize the language and make connections and internalize the rules. I am completely satisfied with the course.

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.

GBGreat 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.

GBA 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.
