I do 30 mins to an hour of a language every day. After I’m done in Duolingo I work my way through a news story on a local news aggregator (I.e. dumbed down) website using Google Translate to figure out things I don’t understand by picking out words. I find trying to identify phrases in the articles useful as it’s starting to give me a sense of basic idiom.

Feels like a good way to consolidate and push forward. It also gives me a bit of culture since news articles are revealing of the way people think.
