I can read German fairly easily now. And while my spoken German is sloppy, when I talk to people they usually don't switch to English even if they know it. I just wish I didn't make so many grammar mistakes, but it's very difficult to get all the declension and conjugation right on the fly because there isn't enough time to think about it. They're not big enough errors to stop people understanding, but I find myself cringing a lot walking away after an interaction where I just said something like "yes, I meeted he yesterday"
