@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.@Dodo_sipping
Ich liebe Hunde und Kätze…und Blödsinn. Gefolgt! -
@gunchleoc @SchreibeEinfach Danke!

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?

Die Regeln sind schlimm genug, aber die Ausnahmen sind schlimmer!
The rules are awful, but the exceptions are worse!@messieass @qwertzalotl my post blew up a LOT more than I anticipated so I’ve already got a German workout this morning!

@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.
e.g. @fernandez @ralphruthe@Ishtar @fernandez @ralphruthe oh! Nice idea!

@lerxst I'm trying to learn but it's my first ever second language and it's a complex one as you know. I've been reading the zeitung and seeing how far I can get before reaching for the translation, but that's basically doom scrolling.
Btw not in any way what you were asking but best German teachers online I've found so far -
@megatronicthronbanks thanks! That’s still helpful!

@lerxst Ich poste auch meistens auf Deutsch, aber reposte auch Englisches.
Ich mag auch gerne andere Sprachen und Tandems und hatte auch schon mal eine Brieffreundschaft nach USA. (Ich mag analoge Post.)
Falls daran jemand Interesse hat, sag Bescheid
@klossartig Ausgeseichnet! Danke schön!

@andijah Danke! Ich schreibe und produziere auch Musik. Meistens ist es eigenwillige elektronische Musik, aber hin und wieder mache ich auch Ausflüge in die Orchestermusik und Filmmusik.

@andijah Ich habe BandCamp mit mit ein paar Tracks: https://ludwigvielfrass.bandcamp.com/
und meiner Website gibt es noch ein paar mehr: https://www.ludwigvielfrass.music/
Dir könnte „Cult Hive“ gefallen, das hat etwas von einem Soundtrack: https://ludwigvielfrass.bandcamp.com/track/cult-hive

@iris Thanks! Will do!

@FiestaBun Nothing wrong with that! Just don't expect me to speak any Finnish, or understand it. I'll follow you anyway!

@FiestaBun I heartily approve of silliness.

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,

@lerxst I'm late to the party, but if you want to listen to German (short) stories, beautifully read by a native speaker and for free, go to www.klausgesprochen.de (@klaus) Enjoy!
