Stretch goal, one fun idea would be to pull headlines from your target language's main country's top newspapers, and work on translating them whenever you're sitting down to practice. Stay up-to-date and learn definitionally useful words in the process. C'mon, computers!

Doesn't Duolingo have something like this?

Bunch of things here. For one, in my experience of Duolingo you're given foreign words, n-grams, phrases, and asked to translate them into English, rather than versa. I want to just go down a big list of phrases and put work into figuring out translations.

Also Duolingo typically doesn't address any of the languages I have hoped to learn..
