My German Nouns Guide: germanwithlaura.com/nouns/
Nouns. They seem so deceptively simple. You learn table, chair, man, woman, etc. ad infinitum with all the basics. Plug them into sentences. BOOM. Done.
BUT, WOW, German nouns are actually pretty tricky!
You’ve got questions. I’ve got answers! Watch the video, read my article, and get a whole lot clearer on how nouns work in German and be empowered to correctly use them yourself.

Honestly, I learn both German and English by watching your videos. Thank you Laura!

[@TheYombe]

Brilliant Laura, you're an absolute superstar! Thanks for the simplicity .

[@Rob-ck4zq]

These videos are mindblowing... I am working toward my B1 at the moment, and this is the stuff that is so hard to find... clear explanations of why things are the way they are, and breaking it all down so concisely... Brilliant!

[@GermanwithLaura]

Thanks for being here! So glad it has been helpful!

[@flonations1323]

I love your courses! If anyone is really serious about learning the core grammar topics of this language. This instructor is the place to start. Hands down the best and easiest teacher to follow.

[@nadineblanchard194]

Agreed! I’m an English teacher who got thrown into teaching German with no formal training and no support from my district and no curriculum. I would be drowning without her course. The best money I ever spent! I’m going to Germany this summer to put it all into action. Thank you Laura! Your number one fan.

[@flonations1323]

@@nadineblanchard194Thank you for loving her video. I totally agree, so worth the money!

So happy you're uploading again! Thank you!!

[@kudzanaichimanga9891]

Thanks Laura,you are a great teacher

[@trukxelf]

I’ve been looking for this kind of explanation: maybe it’s about determining how a learner conceptualizes or prioritizes grammar and structure as a gateway to the core of a language- as opposed to vocabulary memorization that seems so prevalent. I’ve had a difficult time making progress with acquiring language until I discovered this channel, as I had to learn that I need the logic explained first.

[@johnhblaubachea5156]

When I was growing up they stopped teaching grammar in English classes after the 3rd grade. So, when I started learning Germain in 7th grade my teacher had to first teach us the grammatical concept in English first, before learning it in German.

[@RamonMartinezGasca]

Such an smart class. Thank you. I'm just beginning to Unserstand the estranges cases.

That's high praise!

[@nonesee]

Heyyy So nice to see you with brighter color of top! I been watching the same blue pattern top from your paid German Foundation online course 😂. I guess its refreshing to watch you wear something else. And wow, I really like the long-hair version of you. And red lipstick suit you gurl! I know, i know, its nothing to do with Declension, but everyone here knows already how good you breakdown the german-grammar theories into digest-able friendly to every non-german brains. So, the top and lipstick need to be mention.😍

this is the most intimidating part of my German learning so far...so thank you for making it a little more digestible!

[@GermanwithLaura]

My pleasure! Happy learning!

[@nadineblanchard194]

I have a whole back story in my head that Laura is this sweet woman from the mid-west who would bake a homemade sweet potato pie and bring it to a new neighbor down the block. We would have pie and coffee and sit and speak conversational German and we would be besties! 😂

[@GermanwithLaura]

I LOVE coffee and pie and German! :)

How does Laura keep a beautiful complexion?

[@krismaadiwibawa9370]

Hello Laura, what does the crossed flag mean? Can you explain it?

[@GermanwithLaura]

The crossed out flag is all about ein-word determiners and the three situations where they will not receive any declensions. On the chart you can look for those flags to confirm that possibility.

[@wadudsardar9800]

Is German foundation course sufficient for B1 level? Please let me know.

[@GermanwithLaura]

Great question! My 'German Foundations' course exists outside of the A1, B2, etc. framework, but covers essential grammar structures that you need for any level. I chose various topics A1-B2 for 'German Foundations', and the rest get covered in my advanced course. Students from absolute beginner to advanced have all benefited from my course, so, wherever you're at in your German-learning journey, I believe you have something to gain from studying with me!

[@carmax360]

Soo how should i make flashcards?

[@GermanwithLaura]

Sorry for the delayed response! I believe Laura briefly talks about creating flashcards in this video if you want to check it out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nHS8gmSNd7mnY9k

[@jose280714]

Mi lengua nativa es el español, aprendi ingles por el trabajo, ya con 20 años escuchando y hablando ingles, ahorita estoy tratando de aprender Aleman, y el tema de los "generos" es curioso, por que el Aleman igual que el español tienen esos famosos "generos" que luego de pensar un poco en realidad no son "generos" como tales, si no es cierto yo mismo llegue a esa conclusion al menos en español que por ejemplo que tiene una por mencionar algo, una pizarra para decir que es femenino, por citarla como: La pizarra... que tiene el objeto en si mismo que la hace femenino? La respuesta es nada! es un asunto propio de la lengua, y la conclusión seguida por mi linea de razonamiento fue que es un asunto más como de fonética, y así con todas las palabras que tenemos en español, por ejemplo: La bicicleta... que tiene la bicicleta para decir que es femenino? Pues nada... es la fonética del lenguaje lo que nos indica si lleva tal o cual articulo que ... Creo que como hablando nativo de español me siento mucho más identificado con este asunto de los "generos" que los de habla inglesa.

[@jose280714]

Por cierto, pude haber escrito en ingles mi comentario anterior, pero mejor en español, para que la profe sepa que la entiendo mucho mejor de lo que piensa, ya que mi lengua tiene esos "géneros" ya dentro del lenguaje.... soy de Costa Rica.

[@GermanwithLaura]

You are so right. The idea of words having genders is a new concept for English speakers, so you definitely have a jumpstart! Happy learning! - Nicole, GwL Team

Hi Laura, thank you. @@GermanwithLaura 🙏 ... (or Nicole 🤔)

[@sandrasamuelson4796]

One lesson on Duolingo started with "The Old man" Der alte Mann. This was the answer that was finally accepted. Why is there an "e" on alt?

[@GermanwithLaura]

This is what Laura would call the 'weak' declension going on the adjective. You can read more about this here -->> germanwithlaura.com/declension/ Nicole GwL Team

Very helpful. Thank you. Laura, will you marry me?

[@ja-no6fx]

You really need to stop starting all your videos by telling us how hard learning german is. Idk If your doing it as part of some Marketing scheme or if it's just supposed to be funny, whatever the reason, it really needs to stop.

[@GermanwithLaura]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! If learning German doesn't feel hard to you, that is really great. A lot of people WOULD say learning is hard, because that is really common feedback we hear. Laura has no marketing scheme here, she is just trying to empathize with the students who are struggling. We celebrate that you are doing so well in your learning! - Nicole, GwL Team

[@ja-no6fx]

@@GermanwithLaura I wasn't saying it's easy, I'm saying the start of your videos are discouraging.

[@ahmede.732]

no, it's not discouraging at all. she's expressing how the beginners feel when they start learning german and this is what I actually felt. His methods of learning is really awesome and helped me alot. I wish she could help us more to learn grammar here on this channel cause me and many people cannot afford her paid course, I would enroll it ofcourse without thinking if I could
