My motivation is from wanting to be better for my girlfriend as well as wanting to be able to converse when I'm in Germany. While I was there, I found it difficult to understand what was being said. My goal is to learn more vocab and become better with grammar, and be able to fully converse with someone in Germany. My long term goals would include the continuation of studying and eventually fluency.

I am looking for advice on some study habits. I want a routine I can try to follow and make progress with. I already know some from school, and what I learn in school was really good, but I'm lacking in the listening skills. I have tried to keep studying on my own, but I only seem to keep myself at my current level, but can't seem to make any actual progress and remember new vocab or grammar. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you.
