Hey, can anyone recommend ways of improving your standard of a second language when it's already quite good?
In particular I'm looking for learning methodologies.
At the moment I keep making the same mistakes. All the language courses offer basic to intermediate language courses and they're too basic and there's a lot of repitition.

I don't get much chance to practice so I definately feel my standard is getting worse.
Any ideas welcome

Why not try to organise conversation classes, or grammar classes with a native speaker of the language?
