Used to be really decent at spoken. I'm at about a decent sixth class / first year level now after practicing with my youngest for a bit and I've definitely improved but it's also definitely plateaued.

I'm doing little things like reading the Gaeilge along with English on any signs I come across but struggle with RnaG news or the like.

Like I can make out the words but I'm just so rusty I lose context quickly.
