Don't be afraid of using apps like Duolingo or Babbel, they are also great tools, especially for training listening comprehension.

Have you read a good Trauerspiel lately? Which tragedies or plays in general can you recommend?
I've recently read Schiller's Maria Stuart and it's a masterpiece. The protagonists, the question it raises about political necessity, morals, women as rulers, I cant recommend it enough.
I also love Grabbes tragedies, I've especially enjoyed Hannibal and Gothland. Gothland is a truly disturbing and shocking play.

Also, feel free to post some general German book recommendations and talk about German literature.
