There's an interesting discovery scientist have made about those learning a second language or a new skill. They learn at an incredible rate when they first start (as you'd expect) and it eventually starts to slow down over time (again, as you'd expect) until it hits a plateau, at which it sometimes never overcomes (or it does but stops at the next plateau). I believe they call this the OK-Plateau, for how you feel about your new skills when you reach this point, OK. The idea is, learning levels off when we internally (and often subconsciously) determine we're "good enough" at a certain thing. For language learner's it may be when they decide they're conversational, or when they one day stop bothering to look up new words because they think their vocabulary is good enough for their needs. You're likely at this point and need to critically examine your weaknesses and make a plan to train them if you really want to progress. On an interesting side note here, this is often the value that coaches provide to aspiring athletes, someone who can identify your plateaus by analyzing your movement, abilities, etc.. and plan your training to isolate and tackle them.
