This looks like a good way to jumpstart the process. Thanks for your meticulous work on outlining how to proceed with this! Very helpful. (And I'm also enjoying many of your other videos. Really like your approach to this language!) ❤

[@GermanwithLaura]

Thank you for your kind words.Teaching German is my passion!

[@brookofjewels]

Immediate subscribe! Thank you for putting together this video.

[@GermanwithLaura]

Thanks and welcome!

[@392hemi9]

Nice video. As complex as the German language is, it would be interesting to know what percentage of native speakers have a through mastery of it. As a native English speaker of the United States, it's amazing how many grammatical mistakes I see when reading news articles.

[@GermanwithLaura]

That would be an interesting statistic to know, I agree. There probably are a good percentage of Germans that also do not know their grammar well.

[@giannamilo216]

That's true. I'm German and in 5th grade, people kept saying "ich fande es....so und so" when talking about someone's story or report we discussed. Our teacher was really annoyed and kept saying there's no such word as "fande". 😂 Yet, I think most people speak grammatically correctly, with very few exceptions, without thinking about it. As for newspapers articles, many journalist have studied Germanistik at university, but I'm sure it happens occasionally 😉. Nobody is perfectly...

[@natavanhuseynova4959]

Thank you! 👌🙏🍀

[@BreadAckerman]

So I will follow this now

[@tracekat6456]

I love your teaching method🎉 Plus you're adorable😊 It's funny that I stutter in English (my native language) but I do not stutter at all in German🤔🤗 I'm so thrilled I stumbled upon your videos. Thank you for taking the time to make them and share this beautiful language 👩‍🏫

[@GermanwithLaura]

Thanks for watching!

[@futureeme7721]

This sentence reminds me of a video by Dani Chavero, where he discusses the use of the Janulus technique and Kaizen method in language learning.

[@catebligh]

I would love this as a listening game where I have to fill in the blank from the various sentences. Then the correct sentence is repeated after to ensure I got it right to repeat and drill. This is the first video of yours I stumbled upon! Been studying German speaking for a year now. (Also would also really like a pdf worksheet to print out if you make those, I’ll check you website 😊)

[@GermanwithLaura]

Great idea for an activity! As of now, Laura has not yet made a worksheet for additional drills, but definitely still check out the website. There is a lot of content available on there! - Nicole, GwL Team

[@berrybell00]
