Transgender Germans leave town

The content was indeed very helpful. Many thanks.

But please consider talking a bit less, you talk tooo much about irrelevant stuff 😅

Where is the course English Grammar for German Learners?

15 years living in Germany.... never has this been better explained. Where were you 15 years ago Laura?? A dozen German teachers, thousands in Euros, HOURS spent only to suffer the frustration causing me to feel so defeated and discouraged!!! Ausgezeichnet!!! Vielen danke Laura!!!

Ich bin Amerikaner, der die deutschen Wortendungen gemeistert hat. Danke schön für die ausgezeichnete Erklärung.

Vielen dank

Wait, WHAT? You just unlocked 8 months of not understanding this for me.

This 11 video playlist is absolutely gold. A great teacher makes all the difference. Thank you.

My questions is this, Laura,,Am i correct when regarding a subordinate clause, the verb prefix would occupy the end of the clause, while the verb occupys its begining?.

Omg yes!! Don't get me wrong, seeing a chart where it is spelt out is great and all, but when you have that information it just doesn't help you when you're actually speaking the language. Give me just the endings and when to use them and I'll be able to add them in while I'm actually forming sentences!

sehr nützlich; danke!

Laura. I have been studying German for a number of years and never understood the reasons behind the rules. I feel like a veil has been lifted. You have a real gift for teaching. Wish I knew about you years ago!

Sentence 3, why jenem armen, frierenden Mann Given sentence, Please explain the endings. Wohnst du in einem der grössten Schattenlöcher der Schweiz. Thank you.

Fantastic video again! But I can't find the pdf containing the all-in-one declensions chart. Please could someone assist me?

Please, where can I find the PDFs? I can’t find the link 😿

Best language teacher in the entire world 🫶🏽!!!

Why have I only just watch this? Thanks😊

What do the flags mean on the chart?

So sad I had to figure this out for myself in Uni

Hallo, I'm a TA at an Egyptian university. I've benefited a lot not only in German, but also your teaching way from which I've picked up some ideas even for teaching Arabic. You're so talented. I really appreciate this.

This is great video. I have a clear way to differentiate nominative, accusative, and dative cases. Thank you so much for this helpful video.

I'm still confused about which 'ein' word determiners require Pattern #2. Is it just the three sites shown on the All IN One Chart or does it apply to all indefinite articles whatever the gender and case?

I think the only way I can learn declensions is to read a lot and understand what I read. I especially love listening to music while listening to the lyrics.

Omg Laura, thank you so much for this, I knew there was some sort of logic behind all those declensions, you teach it in such an easy-going and easy to comprehend way, you're the best <3

In the last example you pointed out the Dative example and declensions but I noticed the accusative declension wasn't explained. Would it be correct to say the "e" in eine is neuter? Also why are the flags bold and some are not?

This was unbelievably good. Thank you so much! Danke schön!

Fantastic.
Thank you so very much.

Thank you 😊

Ich muss doch sagen, dass diese Erklärung einfach toll ist. Your teaching style reminds me of the late, Richard Feynman and his learning technique: "the art of explaining". Ich danke dir im voraus...

You are a lovely communicator

Hello. This was a really well explained video and proved to be really useful. In fact, it helped me not be scared of German declensions hahaha. Just one thing I didn't understand, might have flew over my head...atop the chart there are little flags, what's the difference between the black flag and the non coloured flag?
Thanks again!

I'm seriously impressed with your explanations. I learned the grammar originally via these tables, which worked well for me as a very visual learner, but your your table is even better. My German has been messed up by having learned Dutch and I want to regain the German but find how to keep it separate in my head (any hints?). Subscribed and considering your courses in a few months. Danke vielmals!

Your teaching method is super,God bless you Laura

Hey Laura!

When I first saw your ultimate declensions table I thought that it is really smart and useful. I still think that, but at the same time, I think now that it is only good to prepare for tests or self-checks. It is really cool to memorize a single declension table instead of many, but even tho you compress a lot of data into it, you have now a pretty complex algorithm to actually use it. So in practice, it is really useful to check our writing or fill grammar tests during an exam, but it is not useful when we would like to speak. We just don't have the time to uncompress the data from this single chart.
When we speak, having the 10 different charts without a complex algorithm to know what we should pick is the way to go. We have to repeat a lot of example sentences using those and develop a feeling for them just as native speakers also do not use any declension tables at all. When somebody learns German as a second language I think using your single ultimate chart is actually counter-productive when we talk about speaking because it slows down the process, we cannot generate output by using that chart as fast as we could with the collection of those simpler to understand charts - and at the end of the day none of them can be used while we speak, but yours is still way slower - and progressing with those many tables is actually easier to comprehend and give some time to actually practice the conjugation. So there is a reason why this kind of ultimate conjugation chart was not used before.

At least this is my opinion and experience about it. Still, it is wonderful to memorize things for grammar tests when we have more time to think about the output!

Do you have a different experience with your students?

Hey u r the best....u covers all my doubts confusions nd everything....i love u for ur efforts nd the way of teaching by ur heart ❤️💯

I’m sorry about the last message Laura I thought it would be helpful but it just makes me sound like a know all ! I come from Derby in England and we’re known to be blunt on occasion, but I’m not a know all by any means , I apologise to you and those who read this ,, I should have known better than to write this comment over social , What I meant to say is that I drill my Latin words to music, deep base instrumental usually because it’s got no words in it so I don’t think in English ! That’s what I find anyway, from going from a Latin with no articles in to German with 16 words for the) in, I’m finding myself wrapping a cold towel round my head because once you’ve learnt em no one can take it away from you, & the superlative thing is that words are free for all; just like Mozart’s music was composed for not rich people in this world,
But free to all //

They are not complicated with your drill them !

You are such a clever teacher, thank you so much!

I am addicted to your videos. You are such a passionate expert.
I’m already one month old into learning German but having discovered you few days ago, a lot has changed. Thank you Laura
Please I can’t find the link to sign up.

Im so happy to be Ukrainian just for having 9 or so cases in my mother tongue

You are a great teacher and explain things very clearly. I can't tell you how refreshing it is to have someone explain how grammar works in English. That being said, for a country that prides itself on being practical and efficient, Deutsch is the most unpractical language on the planet. There is no reason for all of the different articles and and changes to adjective endings based on gender. Assigning genders to words is pointless and only makes things overly complicated.

I learned these charts by heart: Der, Die, Das, etc, except Gen came before Dative. Impossible to change that after 40 years. Otherwise, very clear. Big mistake to try to learn any language without knowing how it's put together.

Amazing explanation from an amazing teacher🥰🥰, the best hands down, now German seems way within reach 😁😁…

This is my first time learning an inflected language... I make many mistakes in German grammar because it's very nuanced. But it's interesting to study it because the grammar is so conservative..

Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!

Your videos are fire! Thank you.
