Thanks to all the people here and for all the encourging words I went and tried again to have a chat in my target language and it went well! :)

    Thank you. It’s helping that I’m more immersed in the language than ever before. Actually living in Germany makes it much easier to start learning, and re-learning, the language. I’m around Berlin, so English is quite pervasive, but I do try to erste Deutsch in conversations.

      That’s the way to go. I mean sometimes it’s nice that you have the option to use English if you really feel like it’s a bit much at times. I take advantage of this as well in Vienna. Sometimes I’m just too tired to form a German sentence.

      But yeah I also try to communicate in German as much as possible to get comfortable with the language :)
