I&#39;m really enjoying re-learning German! 🤗 I would like to continue learning after our trip as well. The app I use (Pimsleur) has 5 levels, but after that, I&#39;m not sure where to go for advancement and practice. German friends: any recommendations? I&#39;m interested in reading and speaking, so any easy to read German books (likely for kids) are welcome! Vielen danke! 🙏 #German #Language #LanguageLearning

@SJHoodlet@writing.exchange as a self thought in English (German by being raised in Germany). We have very small children books called Pixi Bücher, ~ fist size (10×10 cm) not a finger thick booklets of different characters. Thought to be read to kids & getting them started to read on their own. One is named Conny and made a sort of meme Revival in the last years. https://www.carlsen.de/kinderbuch/pixi They are made by Carlsen, for which I could find the English Wikipedia page. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlsen_Verlag There are also some publications they have listed sadly they are also running Harry Potter so if you don't want to support that, do to JK Rowling using her money to ban transgender* people from the society. I can understand that, however there should be a good second hand market for the Pixi books & similar brands exist. Also I recommend watching German translated Movies, Series or original German Content etc. Germany has a long dubbing history so youer chance to find your favorite series fully translated is high.🙂
