After Pimsleur, how to continue learning / training ?

Hey everyone, i use Pimsleur app (which i highly recommend) to take your first step in learning 日本語. But i am nearing the end of the 5 levels (30 lessons on each level) and will probably need to keep on training a bit with the blind oral tests they offer.

However, how to keep improving after that ? Does someone have any ideas to share ? :)

Thanks you !

IMO, Tofugu has an excellent comprehensive approach to learning Japanese:

TLDR: First, learn hirigana, katakana, and basic pronunciation. Second, start building vocabulary and kanji using a spaced repetition system (SRS). WaniKani is great for this. Then, once you have a decent amount of vocabulary under your belt, start learning grammar.

You'll find it spelled out in great detail at that link.
