I visited a museum today. They had audio guides available. I found they had a guide in a "easy" version of German.

I am so happy they had the easy (leicht Sprache) guide. I managed to understand about half of the sentences and got some nice in-context listening practice.

I also started listening to some B1 German YouTube conversational videos and I'm doing okay at times.

I've also got a Scratch Programming book in German. It's written to elementary school level and it's great for simple technical language, which is a speciality that I'm going to need soon. Very nice stuff to work with.
