This might not be possible for every language, but if you can, try to find something that you can only access in that language. Like some book that you're interested in that hasn't been translated or some topic where much more material exists in that language than in English. It makes it feel more worthwhile than just learning to learn.
That’s good advice. I do make myself read books and watch media in my target language (or subtitled in it) for practice. I just have nowhere to apply it in written or spoken form. Most likely I will start a new language while continuing mini lessons online until I finish the entire course.
Just for writing you could find a game with servers in that language. This may be a bit tough for Dutch though.
