Learning multiple languages and maintaining them

I am currently learning Italian.  I enjoy learning it a lot.  My German is at a B2 level.  I don't understand everything, but I can understand a lot and can have a conversation.  I'm having trouble finding the time for both languages.  I'm putting more effort into Itallian because it's new and I started a 90 day learning challenge.  However, I'd like to get to a C1 level in German.   How do you learn two languages at once?  After you learn multiple languages, how do you maintain them?  All ideas are welcome.

Practice makes perfect! To maintain them you just have to keep using and getting exposed to the language. Finding a language partner would be a good idea because it will motivate you to continue learning. Meanwhile you could try watching italian/german tv shows, listening to their music and reading books. Perhaps you could set yourself a challenge every one or two months. I guess if you don't live in the country where native language is italian/german, you wouldn't get much opportunity to use the language. Learning and maintaining a language is all about discipline and practice.
