What does “ohne zu urteilen” mean in German?

In the clip, Claudia explains why making mistakes with an AI tutor feels safe: “Die KI korrigiert dich, ohne zu urteilen.” The phrase means the AI corrects your German without making you feel judged or put down. You hear it about any kind of feedback or advice that points out what is wrong but stays fair and kind — so you keep trying without fear.

Spoken in the clip: “Die KI korrigiert dich, ohne zu urteilen.” — “The AI corrects you, without judging.” “Urteilen” means to judge or form an opinion about someone. The full phrase, “ohne zu urteilen,” adds “without” — so together it means the correction happens but no one is being put on trial for it. Another example: - “Sie hörte mir zu, ohne zu urteilen.” — “She listened to me without judging.” Usage note: this phrase is warm and reassuring. It tells you the person (or tool) points out the problem but is not putting you down. You will often hear it about feedback, advice, or listening.
