It’s been a while since there was activity here. How’s everyone’s language study going? (Whether it’s Spanish or another language)

Could you swap half your Duolingo time for graded readers and see how you go? You might make faster progress jumping in with more interesting material?
Yeah, I’ve thought about it but it’s not so engaging for me since you end up reading some stuff that’s not so interesting just for the exercise, I’d like to get to a level where I at least could read something like Kafka’s Metamorphosis which I’ve already read in Spanish and it’s not soooo difficult, even if I miss something. I’d like to be able to read like some real literature that’s not so deep, for example when I started reading English texts I started with Bukowski or some sci fi stuff.
You could try the listening-reading method. Then you can jump into any novels you like. It would work well if you already have some basic vocabulary and grammar. https://web.archive.org/web/20221004162508/http://users.bestweb.net/~siom/martian_mountain/! L-R the most important passages.htm
