About Me
- Laura
- I learnt German at school and hated it - no one wanted to explain the structures to me. Back then I thought that there couldn't be any structures in German, otherwise people would explain how they work to me to save me a lot of time and effort. So I gave up German. Fortunately, I ended up doing my gap year in Germany, learning German in classes for foreigners, and then studying German at university. And finally, people wanted to teach me grammar. I was lucky, I get grammar, it stuck in my head, and I graduated with a first class degree with distinction in the spoken and written language. Since then, I've worked as a translation checker and a financial analyst with a focus on German-speaking regions, and I'm now a financial translator. I also had a brief go at teacher training, but quit, partly because 30 11-year-olds in a room really give me stage fright, but partly because teaching theory dictated that teachers focus on speaking and avoid teaching the interesting bit: the grammar. So now, I'm making German GrammarPod, to try and pass on the love and understanding of grammar, but without the bit where I need to stand up in front of 30 11-year-olds to deliver it.

Welcome back Laura! And a fantastic podcast!
It is also quite timely, as I was just wondering about why some adjectives get an "r" added to the in the dictionary.
Looking forward you your next instalment.
Cheers

Thanks again Laura, it's great to hear your patient and meticulous explanations on my iPod again! I encourage all listeners to subscribe to the feed and listen to the episodes again periodically - these podcasts will repay your time.
I listened to ALL of your podcasts on my trip to and from Nebraska over the past few days. This is my second time through your podcasts. They are fantastic...sehr hilfreich.
Danke und Tschüss,

Laura,
Your work is fantastic. Thank you very much. You have obviously put a lot of time and thought into your broadcast. I look forward to more YouTube videos!
Herzlichen Dank für Ihre großartige Arbeit! Die Podcasts sind viel besser als alles, was ich bislang von "professionellen Verlagen" (Pons, Cornelsen usw.) zu hören bekommen habe. Gibt es eine "Facebook-Fan-Page"?
