lethargic_manAs I posted a little while ago, I'm teaching myself German. I got myself a book, and am slowly ploughing through it on my own. The idea was to use the book to practise my reading (and to a small extent, writing and listening), and practise my writing, speaking and listening with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aviva_m. Only it's not worked out that way: I've done hardly any speaking, and even less listening, with her. Part of the problem is that we've always got other things to talk about, part of the problem is that at present I only have a vocabulary of about five hundred words, and she doesn't of course know what they are (or didn't before I sent them to her the other day).
The problem with that is that of course it results in me being good at reading German slowly, but completely unable to keep up with German spoken at natural speed.
So (just on the off-chance), is there anyone here who would like to talk with me in (very simple) German, slowly, on a frequent basis (several times a week, if only for a short while each time), to help me improve my spoken and parsed-speech German?
