Take a college level course at a college or a language school. Hate to say it senpai, but the only way to become fluent at a language is you need guidance and instruction from a legitimate native speaker with teaching experiences. Sure, one can master a language on his own through self-learning tools such as pimsluer or duolingo, but those things only teach you basic phrases without any knowledge of grammar, punctuation, or practical writing/listening skills and only confine your knowledge at a baby-step level. I was like that in Spanish as well. Only learning the basic through pimssluer anf duolingo until I decided to take spanish courses in college. I'm 70% fluent now and still learning it.

I'm not particularly interested in learning German fluently, I just don't want to completely stop learning it. I'm looking to continue learning bits of it at my computer. I've got a few friends who have learnt English purely through the internet and I was hoping to do the same with German

Rosetta stone or duolingo might work. Not being interested in being fluent but continuing to learn sounds a bit off. Deuche Welle has a free learning program here: http://www.dw.com/en/learn-german/s-2469 if you are interested.

That won't be easy with German or any other languages. English is very easy and universal on the internet as well as Anglo-culture (movies, games, .etc) have a more spread influence in other countries. So non-English people have an easier time and pace in learning English.

I only started learning it because I was bored and to see how I'd get on with it. I did pretty well on the course so it seems a bit of a shame to just stop and gradually forget everything it taught me. It's more of a hobby than anything else.

Point taken about learning English. Ill check all that stuff out. Thanks for the advice

Bullshit. I learned French by myself then got thrown immediately in a French speaking environment. Needless to say I became fluent without the help of an instructor.

Every person is different. But like I said achieving fluency normally requires learning at a stepping-stone level with guidance and instruction from a native speaker that can teach you the backbone and the grammatical structures of the language. Needless to say some people do learn languages on their own but it takes a long time and not being surrounded by an environment of speakers or not knowing the background/cultural aspect of the language can be disadvantageous.

You don't learn a language from audiobooks or internet quizes.

Fucking anglos, when will they learn?

I have zero knowledge of that course you did but I can only assume you have a decent sized vocabulary and basic grammar under your belt.

how to move forward? Read. A lot.

I'm tired but I'll go through my bookmarks and post some German stuff for you that should be around your reading level (easiest to hardest (kinda)).

Some books you should give a try (easiest to hardest (kinda)):
Anything by Christine Nöstlinger
Tintinherz by Cornelia Funke
Harry Potter
Der Sandmann
Im Westen Nichts Neues
Das Parfüm

For the record, I'm learning German on my own and after abandoning actual courses in favor of reading I'm at B1 level (new vocab is the hardest for me to retain).

What you need to do is buy a couple study books. Do the assignments and study the word lists in the back of the book by putting your hand on one of the translations. Then proceed on to the next word. And when you fail a word you do the entire list again.

Then you can go for immersion by a. watching German tv, b. listening to German music and radio c. reading German books d. shitposting in German e. playing video games in German f. following the German news online

Audiobooks can be a tool to refresh your knowledge or to learn some new words, but it's a very slow and limited method of learning. It can help with the pronunciation though.

Same goes for Duolingo. It goes way too slow.

Although, you could listen to audiobooks with German literature. I mean, surely there must be some audiobooks from the Brothers Grimm or something.

There's a truckload of audio books in German of German novels.

I just noticed YouTube is also filled with them. Which you could just download with an mp3 downloader or something.
