probieren geht über studieren

actually I know the saying as "the proof of the pudding is in the eating" which in German means "probieren geht über studieren", i.e. it is more valuable to try something out instead of only getting to know it in a theoretical way. Hope it helps. Best regards!

die Praxis beweist es

Hallo Silke,

oder auch "die Praxis zeigt es".

"the proof of the pudding is in eating" heisst ja bekanntlich, Probieren geht über Studieren. Hier geht es eben darum, dass die Leute aus der Praxis von dem Produkt überzeugt werden.

"XY weiss, dass die Praxis es zeigt."

Viel Glück
