@lerxst @juergen_hubert translates German folktales
The translations get published on this wiki (among other places).
The original German sources are linked at the bottom of each page - although they are in 19th century German, and usually written in the Fraktur typeset, so they are not exactly texts for beginners.

@lerxst don't know if you're interested in my toots, but I am German and have been working with people from all over the world for years, so I have a good feeling for how difficult German is
will boost your toot, of course. -

@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.

@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 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. -
