I just came across this video and as someone who's been living almost one year in México (I decided to do a Master's degree as a B2 level speaker), I can tell you that learning Spanish is no easy process. It's great that you're reading books in Spanish and expanding your vocabulary but, you know, depending on your language learning goals, I see two routes you can take (or can integrate if you so choose). You can learn Spanish as a formal language, as in, being able to speak it at a seemingly high level or, you can master Spanish at the street level. One regret of mine is learning too much of it in a formal educational setting, it kinds sucks because Spanish in school compared to Spanish on the streets is pretty different. There are also different social statuses and classes which can make you come across as a douche depending on how you're speaking and to who. I'd recommend continue listening to music that mimics Spanish in a natural native setting, listen to people irl speaking like this and learn the slang of the country's Spanish that you are interested in! Also, take baby steps when you are having dialogues in Spanish, apply whatever you learned and do it again in the next dialogue!
The Wild Project is the best podcast in Spanish, but maybe the level is too high. You can also watch easy Spanish, it's a good channel to learn. Good luck with it!
Bro's handsome
