Set a goal: How much of german do you want to learn and why. Do you want to learn German because you are traveling to Germany? Or maybe it’s just a hobby? Or do you want to add skills to your resume?
Whatever it is, set your goals and study accordingly. Remind yourself of this goal when you feel the language is starting to become boring. This will help you be motivated.
Immersion: The best way to learn a language is to immerse yourself in it. Surround yourself with the German language. Think, read, write and listen in the German language. Practise makes a man perfect and immersion is the best practice of it all.
Movies and Series: Next time you are on your weekly Netflix binge, watch something in German. You can turn on the subtitles if you want. This will help you get familiar with pronunciation and vocabulary in the German language.

Free apps: Nowadays, there are so many free apps available such as Duolingo or Busuu where you can learn for free. They have a very interactive interface which will make the learning more interesting.
