So very helpful. Studying through Babble for about 200 hours and this was like watching a key hit a lock. Thanks

I speak fluent German after living in Germany for three years - the first year was studying grammar 3 hours a day. Laura, you are AMAZING. I don't think there is a website or textbook that comes close to understanding and conveying German 1/2 as well as you do. I am starting to tutor in German, and kids today don't learn much English grammar which makes learning any language more challenging. This video is amazing.

After struggling through modules with the Open University and almost quitting, I stumbled on German with Laura. The 'how to', the 'why?', the 'where?' were all questions that German with Laura answered. Thanks, Laura, I might actually crack this!

I'm wondering why doesn't this video have more views ? I think it is the most important video in the playlist!

this is incredibly helpful. I have a quite interesting situation in my life because I am Ukrainian and I live in Germany as a refugee right now. I’ve been learning German in school in my hometown for 10 years but my speaking level is not that good as I want it to be and I have a lot of problems with grammar. AND I was lazy and not interested in the language so I didn’t sacrifice my time to learn the cases. now this is a very big problem for me because these are 95% of the German language so I can’t normally communicate with people here since all I know is some vocabulary and basis. I was sure that cases are too hard for me to learn even though my mom tried to teach me this cuz she also can speak German, and I tried to learn this by myself like 353782 times, but every time I only had failures. but since I found you! wonderful Lady, I can understand this topic and all I have to do now is to learn that simple pattern. thank you a lot! honestly, you should receive a big amount of feedback because your content is the first German-teaching content that I found and this is the best of ALL:)

After tearing my hair out (not literally haha) trying to learn the declensions in the "traditional way", I am blown away at how simple it was all along. All I can say Laura Bennett, you are without a doubt a certified German language teaching genius! 😊

Laura, you have made my German Learning achievable! Your simple explanations are super helpful!

This video made my life easy. Not sure why it didn't pop up before I wasted so much time!

After 2 years, I actually feel like I am learning something structurally and not like random different ideas. You videos are great. Thank you so much for putting out these videos.

You are an amazing teacher ❤️❤️❤️❤️ I have been running away from learning German from long and today I forced myself to start learning and I came across your videos. I am GLAD that i could understand successfully every simplified rule to taught. You are the BEST!

You’re the best by the means of German Grammar Teaching❤

I am going to have to work on this material but I can't imagine having a better exposition of these complex aspects of German grammar. I understood every point made in the video. This clarity of exposition motivates me to make the effort because I believe that Laura has placed me within reach of success in grasping the essentials of German grammar. Laura, I appreciate how much time and effort you have put into these videos, and supplementary PDFs. I WILL be signing up for your paid course once I have watched your free grammar course. Ian C

this video is so underated😥. thanks alot❤

Started learning German at university again for the first time since the pandemic hit and kinda freaked out a bit when I found all the other charts and explanations and realized just how much I had forgotten. I was about to start condensing the charts into my own fr. Your channel is truly a livesaver!!! Everything makes so so much sense!! Thank you thank you!!

Thank you thank you!! Your students are so lucky. Still grateful for what you have shared with us.

Super content! Thank you so much! I've been struggling with this concept for three years and finally got it

Laura, you are an excellent teacher! That lesson just explains it all, so easy and understandable! You are amazing!!!! Thank you so much for that incredible video!

You are such an excellent teacher Laura, and the way you’ve condensed this information shows you obviously have a strong understanding of the language. Thank you so much.

I’m from Brazil and I really really love your teaching! The Case system is so hard to assimilate that I miss more exercices.

I know german is a difficult language to learn but these videos are a great help. I will persevere as it's only been five weeks since I started. Thanks Laura keep 'em coming!

Ich bin begeistert! Ich hab noch nie so eine wunderschöne Deutschstunde erlebt.

Laura, you are an incredible teacher, so amazing is your style.

Thanks Laura for the wonderful insights on the cases and declensions. Made it simple and precise. After watching this video learning German will be smarter 😉 not harder.

Your teaching made it so easy for me to grab the difference between Accusative and Dative. All through my A1 courses, i could not tell which was which. Thank you so much

This is a really great video and explanation. It would be nice to see a part three where you offer some examples for learning the chart and quick recall, especially with complex sentences. I know this could be just as simple as saying practice but perhaps there is a mnemonic device that you use in your lessons. Loving the channel and am using it as an aid to my German classes.

Thank you so much, this video was really helpful 😊

This is a "piece of cake" when compared to the Russian language where you have to decline all nouns, proper names, family names etc...in six different cases. Thanks Laura for approaching language learning in a smart way.

thank you! you helped me a lot with learning German!

Laura ; I’ve been studying Latin for 4 years now and German grammatical terminology is similarly important to make sense of the language )) I am drilling my positive’s, comparative’s & superlative adjectives to music, it really helps )) because I’m a poet as well )) I love languages )) I subjunctively wish I had to time to look into more collective nouns & abstract words that take the genitive ,,

You know how to teach! Thank you very much for this, you're a great communicator and I can't stop thinking how useful this content is. Keep doing what you love 😊

Thank you so much, Laura, for providing such a well-crafted and eye opener lessons for those of us who want to indulge in the language of German. I'm in my 4th month of learning and you gave me so much more to learn. Been exploring your articles and videos for some time since I am planning on working in Germany. Most of the resources are free and if only I have money, I would invest in your German Foundation lesson! Anyway, vielen dank!

Another very clarifying video. Thank you very so much! 🌺

You are just amazing! thank you so much!

that so useful and you explain it nicely thanks

Laura, you are an angel.

Life changing video. 🤗👏

You're a great teacher, thank you.

Thanks so much!

Wow thanks Laura you have really thought me how to know Germany Cases may God be with you and am still Learning more from you 😃😃

You deserve a Nobel prize

thank you so much. i have been studying vocab for awhile and skipped out on grammar but you made it easy

Thank you, thank you thank you!!! A big hug from Honduras!

I wish my teacher seventy years ago had been so clear 😃

Wow that was awesome Laura danke shön

Spitze; super hilfreich!

Awesome explanation, made so much sense

Thank you so much! Great explanation!

Amazing dear Laura, if you could change the color code to be as menschen book - der blue-die red- das green- plural yellow , it will be great as most of the beginners have to use Menschen, you are great, thanks

THIS IS AMAZING!!!!Do you have any plans to issue any books about these contents?Cuz I'd definitely and absolutely buy it.Billions of thank you for creating informative videos!!

Love when Laura drops a “whoa” on us😂

Very good table .. I liked the glue ..e .. and finally an easy method for a strong and weak finish..thank u so much 🌹

I like that she used the word 'deceptive' when talking about the declension tables. I found myself learning all these tables and feeling as if I got it, but I realized I had to keep shifting through these tables in my head, which is a very frustrating way to do this. This technique certainly works much better. I assume most people try to do a version of this intuitively, those who learn the language anyways...

You're brilliant. Thank you!

Laura, you are amazing.

Laura could you please make a video explaining the four declension patterns please?

very good Thank you

Great video! I was just wondering if there are any more explaining the other three declension patterns?

hey miss just wanna say youre saving me from not passing my german exam for graduation, thank you so much!

Amazing, Thank you

THIS IS REVOLUTIONARY!!

Amazing teacher, you’re a genius to explain devilish German grammar that easily 😂 😂 😂 best wishes 🥰🥰🌹🌹

Lovely and very nice explanation; Thank you a lot!

You are so funny, Laura sometimes, I almost fell of the stool listening to your predicaments,,,

This is super helpful, thank you !

Very good explanation

The chart is amazing thank you

Seen many videos claiming of making you an expert in German but result was just the opposite; the more you watch, the more your mind entangles. However , than you so much Laura for putting out this video, you accomplished what you said in the start of the video. Now grasping German seems to me achievable :)

finally understood it! danke!

This was awesome! I appreciated the explanations and background. With the background I know the whys instead of blindly plugging and chugging like a monkey. 😊

Thank you Laura it's a big help for me because I finish my A2 but I didn't learn to much and confusing me and now I'm taking B1 any suggestions how can I easily learn German? Dankeschön

Impeccable thanks mam

Can some explain the table under 4 declensions patterns cuz point 1 I understand but point 2 with ein-word determiner I don’t understand and the 3 and 3 the same idk just confused on how that table fits into everything. But thanks to this lady saving my German btw

I'm going to ramble for a bit but bare with me😂 I'm a teenager specifically 16 and I started learning german by myself around last year November, after bouncing from app to app I finally settled with Duolingo but after a while I started feeling like what I was doing was just a repetitive cycle and I wasn't really going anywhere I mean my vocabulary was steadily increasing yes but I didn't have the skill to use that vocabulary yet so I decided to go back to square one and try reading books in german because this was how I learned to read in English since I didn't really have anyone to sit down and teach me however I couldn't find any free books with the simplistic vocabulary I was looking for and I ended up squashing that plan. after a few more drifting I discovered language transfer and let me tell you discovering that made me so excited because it was like having my own personal teacher, that was and still is really important to me because I live in the Caribbean and the only languages taught in this region are english, french, dutch and Portuguese so this made me really happy to say the least but during one of the pre-recorded lessons there were sentences with "tut es dir lied" and "es tut mir lied" I knew that these 2 (mir and dir) both meant the same thing but I didn't know the "why" behind it so that's what lead me to realize that i needed to learn german grammar. after about 2 hours of sifting through videos on RU-vid i came across your channel and everything for me changed after that, the way how you made me realize that all those der,die,das,dem, noun endings and etc were not really random like I had been hearing for so long was absolutely awe inspiring to say the least, after that I completely immersed myself in your videos for a week. this was monday and at the time of writing this its now Thursday and I've learned so much already. now like I said I'm still a minor in my last year of highschool so I can't sign up for your course just yet but ill be attending in university January 2023 and when I do ill definitely be signing up for your course🙏🏿 I have to say tho you're a born teacher keep doing what you're doing because little by little your changing lives✊🏿. well that was alot💀😂 sorry for all the rambling.

Dear Laura, these series are incredibly helpful. However, I am still confused about what those flags in the declension charts mean or refer to?

lol the problem which you mentioned on around #10 min.. today only I was discussing it, like my german teacher is also asking us to remember these charts and actually using it makes so little sense

This is fantastic! I would love the PDFs you mentioned at the end of the video but I don't see them in the description. Where can I find them?

I didnt understand why those ‘no flags’ are in the table. What is the difference between those three situations and the others? Could someone please explain that to me?

Brilliant Laura! I'll be using your chart!

Alles klar,, Laura

This one needs more than scant watching,,

ok. I am at about 25:39 in the video. You said "we will put the strong declension on the determiner." My notes for another of your videos says, 'Definite Articles take WEAK declensions Indefinite Articles take STRONG declensions "This" is a definite article, right? so shouldn't it take a WEAK declension.?

Thank you Laura your videos are amazing!! Quick question: for the plurals when do you use declension pattern 1 vs. 4? I’m under the impression weak declensions aren’t used for the plural but I’ve seen them in duolingo

What is an optional adjective?

It is only for bestimmt i think, what about unbestimmt and negative?

What is the best way to practically practice this?

I'm really confused as to why you're excluding the mixed declinations. Your system doesn't make sense to me 😕

So really quickly - if the start of a sentence is 'My last dog' is 'last' a determiner?

outstanding!!! you cannot get this down using duo lingo.

so i need to understand the meaning of the words other than the noun to determine the cases

where can i download the declension sheet?

Hi thank you so much, I have a question, what does the "no flag" symbol mean?

Was there a time limit on getting the pdf file? I cannot find any link to download it. I ended up typing it all (thank goodness I know how to do tables). I did register and listen to the free Foundations course, but only got lessons 1-5, which were very helpful but not the tables mentioned in this video. But a little disappointing.

Hello dear teacher, I’d really love to buy your book “German foundations “ that you put on sale on Blurb. Is there any other outlets on which I could buy it? Like amazon for example

How do you know which filler to use, e or a ? Ex: neuter accusative is das (filler A) but neuter dative is dem (filler E). So for different cases there are different fillers. Do you have a system for that ?

Why did you use jene instead of das?

I cant say anything But i will say to " kiss you a lot" MIND BLOWING CONTENT ❤❤❤

Sometimes I really think your IQ level is fitting for a most successful CEO… well done Laura, really one of a kind 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🥰🥰🥰🌹🌹🌹

What about declensions after nouns though?

The title of the video is „declension patterns” and I really hoped to find out when to chose which. In the article it is not really clear to me. In 25 minutes very few words are spent on that and all I found out is that you are only using the first one. Can you please explain how to chose the right one? Thank you.
