So I've been taking it easy recently but I still noticed weird improvements.
Today while listening to Schönen guten Morgen (https://youtu.be/32M8qRGrUE8?is=U1uLBjiEPFPDI-Oe), I noticed something I haven't noticed in months.
My mouth/tongue was tired. Physically tired. I haven't felt like this since... I dunno A1 or something.
My mouth was instinctively trying to keep up with the song. And I guess I tried so hard that I actually tired out my tongue/mouth muscles.
Given the speed of the song I feel like this is a true improvement. A few months ago I wouldn't even dream of keeping up with it. But now it's within my grasp, a bit of practice and I might actually build the talking speed to shadow a song like that.
