(👆 UPDATED VERSION of 'English Grammar for German Learners')

This mini-course shows you how to dissect and understand German sentence structure even when it gets fancy with -for English speakers- jumbled word order.

This German grammar video will teach you to understand the STANDARD, default word order pattern used in the German language plus the commonly used TRANSPOSED word order pattern (doesn’t always align well with English and so it's confusing).

Discover the principles of German word order that fuel ALL the patterns the German language ever uses:
A) the subject noun (nominative case) must be next to the conjugated verb
B) the conjugated verb must come as the 2ND element of the sentence

Both the STANDARD and TRANSPOSED word order patterns follow these 2 principles of German word order.^^ However, the transposed word order pattern has an added twist:

Rather than using inflection to emphasize a particular element in a given sentence, the German language transposes that element to the front of the sentence, which then forces the subject noun [nominative case] to the other side of the conjugated verb (which stays in the 2nd position, but which is not necessarily the 2nd word in the sentence!).

Once you understand the 2 principles that fuel these 2 German word order patterns, you will also be able to quickly grasp the remaining 2 word order patterns (video coming soon!). You’ll be well on your way to creating your own German sentences and doing it RIGHT!
