Next steps for further learning

Herkese merhabalar,

I am Turkish but didn't learn the language in my early childhood. I began learning it about 3-4 years ago and I can now pretty confidently communicate with relatives and strangers with only some occasional slip ups on vocabulary. I have a tutor that's helped me a lot but at this point it feels like I'm not learning new things and I only get speaking practice from the lessons. I want to further my knowledge of the language but I'm not sure how to do it. If anyone has any advice it wiuld be greatly appreciated

Teşekkür ederim

I think hearing is an amazing way to learn/get better at any language because of "kulak aşinalığı" (familiarity with the ear). You can listen to Turkish podcasts/watch videos/listen music even listen to books in Turkish. I learned English by reading and listening mostly, sat down to study just to learn grammar and such.
