    This is really helpful. I have attended a few courses and lived in Germany, but never had this type of exercise. Thank you so much.

  • @Almacni
    @Almacni 6 місяців тому +2

    Thank you Laura. I am currently one of your students and doing a paid lesson, so this is timely and well presented.
    I think that Templates and set guides are something I need at this moment and at the stage I am at.
    Time constraints also mean that I like to jump in at every opportunity and also hungry for knowledge and something new to learn.
    This is all exciting stuff and as I live on an island in the middle of the South Pacific I do not think we have too many German speaking people on island so getting my work checked would be difficult so any links to suggested sites and anyone who wishes to assist would be grateful.
    See you in the class room and highly recommend that anyone learning jump in and look at the lessons.

    Wow, what a truly excellent exercise this is! I'm already fluent in German but have been looking for something as a refresher for various grammar issues. 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!) ❤

    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
      @GermanwithLaura  Рік тому +4

      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
      @giannamilo216 Рік тому +4

      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...

That is definitely more useful than just doing exercises on an app, but I think that this added structure will really help me to focus on one topic at a time. Really appreciate this exercise, I am sure I will use it again and again!
