Be stubborn and stick to your German even if it is bad, a bilingual conversation is just as fun. It took me as a German a long time to not automatically switch to English when I talk with someone who has little German knowledge.

As someone who still can't speak "good enough" after 6 years in Germany, thank you! Everyone switches to English all the time :)

This gets harder when you struggle to meet other people who actually speak German.
