I know some German (B1), but it's been a few years since I had classes and those posts help me brush up my German (though they are a bit advanced for my level).

I doubt the issue is your ability to speak/read German but the heavy use of Zangendeutsch.

Why would anyone do that😔

(Tnx for the site btw)

Trouble with ich_iel is that they usually translate English words literally into German. Even names or English words that exist in German. The worse the translation the better.

So, uh, don't learn everything from them.

It could be worse. Like using a cat as a training partner for language learning.

...I'm still trying to unlearn "Miaument".
