I am basically new to the forum but I am not new to the space, I have read a lot about the forum and would love to participate in Translation Bounty, but I am a native English speaker and would love to take up the task to learn a new language.
Can anyone help with advice?
Do you have any experience at all in German? I myself am German and compared to English it's a bit harder to learn, but there are also other languages that are way more difficult to learn. If you already have a bit of experience, did you ever consider audiobooks? It's a great way to learn a language. Take a book you like (and read) and try the audiobook. Maybe you have a favorite book that you already read several times. It's an awesome and fun way to explore a language.
Best of luck to you
