Keep practicing and keep noticing new things

This structure, keep + a verb in the -ing form, means to continue doing something. For example: "I keep hearing the same song everywhere!" Or, "Don't stop now, keep going!"

I notice that the longer I live in Barcelona, and the more I read books and newspapers, the more I learn. It's like a spiral, in the sense that I notice new things about Spanish and Catalan all the time. These things were always there, I just couldn't see them or recognize them.

The same is true with learning English. Even if you feel that you aren't moving forward, keep practicing and noticing things. Keep learning new words and asking questions.

When you're starting to learn a language, your progress feels quick, because everything is new. But soon, it seems that you're slowing down. This is right, because the more you know, the more you don't know. You may become frustrated. But don't give up! Keep going, and you'll discover that you're still learning and improving.

Something that can help you is to set some practical goals, like to learn a new verb every week. It might not sound like much, but at the end of the year you will have learned a lot of verbs!
