In English, we call this "hitting a plateau" and it happens to me approximately every two weeks ;-) Having a teacher -- not just a chat partner -- has been what has pulled me up to the next level. Without structure, it's easy to lose track of your next goal. Also, a teacher can build upon what you learned before, whereas a chat partner isn't trained in ways to teach new grammar, pronunciation, or style. If you can't get a teacher, then I would suggest finding an ESL/EFL textbook and working through it just as you would in a class. Then, speaking with your chat partner say, "This week's chapter was about ___. I think this is what it means: ___. Can we look at the exercises I did and check for errors?"

I understand it gets harder to make clear progress when you hit a certain point. For my upper-level students, I usually suggest two things, at the very least: 1) identify the errors they still make, and get rid of them. 2) try re-phrasing the same message in several different ways, and work out how the subtext changes between the different sentences. See how you go! :)
