 On my Kindle, I have the habit these days of alternating Dutch and Māori. 

Now and then I highlight interesting words, especially those that are new to me but that I can grasp from analysis and through context.

e.g. curiositeiten (curiosities), antropoloog (anthropologist), modderpoten (muddy feet)

And in te reo: kōhimuhimu (whisper), akoranga (classroom), nekeneke haere (moving about)

 I inadvertently did some Dutch tonight, having clicked on a Youtube clip that mixed languages. Up to now, I've been doing Maori in the morning as well as Japanese in the evening. So I may as well expand my repertoire and alternate between Japanese and any of my other languages from here on out.

In Dutch, I’m at the point that all I need to do is read or listen to books. Maybe sometimes both at once. 

I could work on accuracy with writing, and fluency in speaking, using shadowing and running dictation. Another idea is to use Dutch as a means of learning other languages—not use English at all.

I tried that the other day doing German plus Japanese. Great fun that was! Between them I was comprehending.

The audio version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that I have is superb. So are the Harry Potter books I managed to download.
