    If you like, I’ll also ask around a bit.

    That’s really kind of you! I appreciate that. Let me look into it a bit and I’ll get back to you, I wouldn’t want you to go out of your way for nothing, but if you hear of something that might fit definitely let me know :)

    That you learned the language before can be a great help!

    I don’t want to get the wrong impression. I took a single semester of entry level German 33 years ago, so I would have a lot of work ahead of me, but when I was studying it, it seemed like I was picking it up pretty quickly. I remember how to say “Hello, Goodbye, My name is, My birthday is on, and I feel sick” lol.

      That’s still better than most. I’m not sure if you’re aware of it but pretty much every movie and book is also available on German so if you e.g. have Netflix you can often just enable the German dubs and e.g. combine it with English subtitles.

      That in reverse really helped me with learning English.
