Not to dampen your mood, but you might have to actively bring the Germans to speak German with you, they tend to immediately switch to their own broken English, although, it might also be a super fluent English depending on whom you met

Yeah I heard about that.

Although the whole purpose is to practice language for me and the host is aware of that so I’ll try as much as possible to stick to German. My German is somewhere around the low B1 high A2 range. Hopefully 4 months can make it confidently B1. Idk

Oh and another thing. The types of people who immediately switch to fluent English are young people in cities. This is gonna be some small town in southern Germany. Hopefully their English isn’t great either haha.

Oh southern german, village place. Then you will get either swabian or bavarian flavored German, both very cute dialects, although sometimes heavy. Enjoy the experience either way!
