How to use German Declensions [The Better Way] | German with Laura

(👆 UPDATED VERSION of 'English Grammar for German Learners')

This mini-course explains WHY German slightly changes the ends of particular words (a.k.a. declensions) and sets you up to be able to do this yourself!

In this ‘German for beginners’ grammar lesson video, you’ll dig deeply into the All-In-One Declension Chart that provides the right declensions you need in any scenario!

Learn how to take into account the GENDER and CASE of a noun in order to find the correct intersection of the chart with the declensions you need.

Discover exactly which words NEED declensions anyway, and get ready to soon be able to put them on yourself -- correctly! -- every. single. time.

Declensions are not a fraction as scary as German Learners (understandably) think. The problem is how these topics are conventionally taught in German courses.

Get ready to throw 10+ conventional charts out the window! You need only ONE chart of declensions in order to learn German -- the All-In-One Declensions Chart created by yours truly. :-)

The German language is full of principles & patterns, rhyme, reason, and logic! If you can understand the grammar rules operating under the surface and wield them yourself! you will be able to use declensions properly and with ease.

In this video, you’ll discover…
1. ‘determiners’ (words such as ‘the’, ‘a’, ‘this’, ‘your’, etc.)
2. ‘adjectives’ (words that describe nouns, e.g. big, round, yellow)
3. and the declensions that need to go onto these types of words ^^

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!!!

[garyturner]

I just discovered you. You're an outstanding communicator!

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

I am also a teacher and I recognize an excellent instructor when I see one, no matter what the subject matter. A good teacher is a good explainer. The ability to take the complicated and explain it in a simple and understandable way takes a lot of practice. Also you need to have enthusiasm for your subject matter. Your excitement for the German language shines through in every video I've watched. So glad to have run across you!

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.

[africubanbronco]

Literally, those charts were so confusing. The one that you made is very simple. Thank you.

[thomasburns]

Laura, you are so talented!! Love your teaching persona. You're a natural, but you also provide an extremely well thought out and masterfully organized lesson.

i've had this youtube account for years and (i'm pretty sure) i've never left a comment anywhere, but you're such a big help for my A1 learning! your teaching is magical, what else can i say

[geoffreyrosina]

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!

[joyelhaestherrajan]

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 ❤️💯

This is quite literally the best language instruction I've ever seen. Not only are her modules clearly articulated but the logic is also plainly explained. I'm SO excited that I found you, Laura! I have been in Stuttgart communicating with poor grammar and finding your videos has led me to believe declensions were my main struggle. I'd string together a sentence without proper case or declensions and I'd be ignored or asked to speak English ... which is frustrating as someone trying to learn German. That said, if someone spilled word soup in my lap in English I'd probably do the same. lol I'm so grateful to have found your modules after years of getting nowhere with DuoLingo and Babel etc. This is exactly what I was missing. <3

[nelzsignature]

Your teaching method is super, God bless you Laura

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
