<![CDATA[My German has gotten rustier and rustier since my mom died nearly 10 years ago.]]>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?

Moin Moin, Hans! Wie bist du?

Ich gehe am 20 Juli zum Rush-Konzert nach Chicago! Ich lebe jetzt in Michigan und lasse die Hitze Arizonas hinter mir.

The nearest Stammtisch is in Grand Rapids which is a little far to go regularly,
