    @lerxst Since I've stopped going to work in Germany, my German has gone from very bad to even worse, I mean it's still not as bad as my Welsh.. So I'm going to hop on and follow some of the other suggestions in the replies below.

      Was für ein Musikstück spielt denn das Faultier gerade?
      Ob es dazu einen Ton gibt?

      Und: Ja, kannst mir gern folgen und meine Trööts kommentieren.

      (Meine Texte kannst du ja notfalls automatisch übersetzen lassen...)

      @Hans that’s a JAZZ Sloth! 😁And now I’ve already expanded my vocabulary: das Faultier.

      Danke schön!

                @lerxst There's this really nice guy from Oregon... Travis Dow.
                He translated a podcast into German back then to help him learn the language better.
                The German podcast: https://kabinett.uber.space/
                The English version:
                https://podcastnik.com/the-secret-cabinet-podcast/
                Maybe this will help.
                Have a nice day.

                          Hallo @lerxst

                          Da Du Deutsch üben möchtest, antworte ich Dir auch auf Deutsch.

                          Um das Hören zu üben, könntest Du Podcasts hören. Da kommt es darauf an, was Dich interessiert. Ich mache das für Schwedusch und höre da zum Beispiel einen über Geschichte vom schwedischen Radio.

                                My German has gotten rustier and rustier since my mom died nearly 10 years ago. At that point, she was my last living German-speaking relative. It is getting harder for me to read and forget hearing it at this point.

                                Anybody out there have interesting and not too heavy German language first Fedi folks they follow? Bonus points if they don’t mind interacting with someone whose German language skill sucks?

                                    Do you like cartoons? There are some very funny German cartoonists in the Fediverse, where you can train your German in a funny way by reading the cartoons.
                                    e.g. @fernandez @ralphruthe

                                      Btw not in any way what you were asking but best German teachers online I've found so far -
