Nothing takes the place of practicing with native speakers, if you can get the opportunity. My Spanish and miniscule amount of French isn't nearly as good as decades ago since I never use it anymore. But I remember speaking to people in Mexico and Spain and going, "Wow, OK that's how they say it." The good thing is you almost never forget it afterwards. Truthfully I had the impression I learned language and math easier as I got older - up tp a point.
