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?
@lerxst German TV channels are easily available online; maybe it can help.

@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.

A big hello to you, @lerxst!
I mostly post in German (except for right now
) about gardening ( #Garten ), my café and political engagement.
Du wirst hier viel finden, wenn Du verschiedene Hashtags eingibst, je nachdem, wofür Du Dich interessierst oder worüber Du reden möchtest.
Ich wünsche Dir viel Vergnügen mit uns! 🥰 -

@lerxst German here. open to any connections (penpalling?). also, some of the suggestions are good (TV, easy language etc.) . Plus if you have netflix, there is a ton of stuff you could watch in dubbing (or even original) or with subtitles. and with and some without VPN (darned geoblocking9) German TV online. if there are topics you are particularly interested in I might be able to give you some ideas

@lerxst Hi Ludwig, schön, dass Du an Deinen Fähigkeiten festhalten möchtest. Es wäre schade, sie verfallen zu lassen.

@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:

Maybe this will help.
Have a nice day. -

@lerxst you're welcome to follow me if you're interested in German disaster response or IT stuff. Lots of (angry) political shitposting as well. Most toots are in German, a lot in English, some in French and very few in Dutch.

@lerxst Keine einfache Aufgabe. Ich kenne kaum Deutsche, die ihre Sprache fehlerfrei beherrschen. Mich eingeschlossen.
Also: Sei willkommen und schreibe einfach los. -

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.

@lerxst German with English here, toots mixed.
Komm rüber, wenn Du magst. Ich schreibe Blödsinn, aus meinem Leben in einem winzigen portugiesischen Dorf, über unsere 6 Hunde und 3 Katzen, schimpfe auf Politiker, alles wild durcheinander. Ich folge Dir schon mal. -

I helped quite a few refugees with learning german, and yes, it is complicated
If you have any questions, just ask.Auf deutsch liest sich das so: Ich habe so einigen Flüchtlingen beim deutsch lernen geholfen, und ja, es ist kompliziert. Wenn du Fragen hast, einfach fragen.

@lerxst
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.

@lerxst In most interactions I’ve had in German on Mastodon, people seem to have put up with my incorrect German. Less so with my opinions.

@lerxst erzähl mir eine interessante Geschichte.. Zum Beispiel über deine Familie. Wo kamen die Eltern deiner Mutter ursprünglich her? Wie erging es ihnen, als sie Auwanderten? Ich spreche normalerweise hier wenig Deutsch, aber wenn du was spannendes zu erzählen hast, plaudere ich gerne mal eine Stündchen. Hat sie dir denn auch deutsche Schriftsprach beigebracht? Denn deutsche Rechtschreibung ist nicht besonders intuitiv. Um es milde auszudrücken.
