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! :)

I managed to pick up a crime novel off a free pile this week. I'm not able to read it outright, but the percentage of the prose I'm getting is about 60-80%. That's a huge win for me.

In more formal practice I'm nearing the end of translating book 95 of Die Drei ??? Kids - Geheime Zeichen (secret signs). I'm thinking about getting another one of those since the vocabulary level and prose difficulty are about right for me at this point.

I did manged to order food a few times during the week entirely in German, though I bailed when trying to describe how much of a cheese wheel I wanted to purchase.
