As you have experienced learning Dutch in certain degrees, you might wonder when you will be able to speak it. Maybe there are tricks and cheats to learn faster. This is nonsense, because nothing can substitute the time you invested and the experience and knowledge you derived from investing this. There are, however, clever ways to learn and to stay dynamic in learning. As you are all living humans, your learning is different at different times and this is so for different people. People's inclination is also important, as to see what works best for you when. Some people are more visual and like to see pictures, some learn more by hearing words, others do more and others again like to read and philosophize about Dutch. As only few people know what works best, try out and try many different things. Change your actions regularly and do not solely learn vocab lists or solely speak Dutch. 
I will give some handles for you to try out.

Visual: Google the words for pictures or preferably draw words / sentences in pictures to link this image in your brain with the words.

Hearing: Youtube is great for listening to many kinds of voices in Dutch and to figure out how you actually pronounce that weird 'g' sound properly or why there are different ways of speaking throughout the Netherlands. If you have a Dutch neighbour, friend, acquaintance listen to them when they speak Dutch.

Do: Speaking is good to do it here on iTalki or with Dutch people you know. I would recommend a lot of doing anyway and the way to start is to practise speech with everybody who knows Dutch and to write as much you can write. Don't get confused while speaking, though. Struggle with confusion in the mental part.

Mental: There are a lot of vocab lists on the internet and a lot of knowledge that can get you started. I also recommend you to 'just' learn vocab lists and many many conjugations, because they will start to pop up when you start to talk and will benefit you greatly. Getting confused is fine, but ask some people to solve it after a while.

Dutch is considered a 'difficult' language because of its high amount of exceptions in conjugating verbs. Play with conjugations, laugh about the many mistakes you will make and the weird things you will say. As long as you are not talking to the police or the medics, mistakes are good to learn from. It gets you out of your comfort zone, as that is where you will learn the most.
