Most links open in a new window. Just close those pages when you've finished with them. There usually is a  CLOSE  button for you to press when you think you won't need that page any longer. (Mostly pages of general information: principal parts, vocabulary tool, declension or conjugation tables)
Any link that opens in the same window lights up the back arrow in your browser bar. In that case there should be some kind of "Back to ...." button to press.
If there isn't and you want to go back to where you'd been before, either click on your browser back arrow, or use the Alt key and the back-arrow key on your keyboard

 

  


     

Whatever you do, always have pen and paper at the ready and jot down thoughts, questions, new words, anything that comes to mind. It focuses your attention and makes remembering easier.

Don't try to bite off more than you can chew. If you can only remember 2 new words at a time, don't try to learn 10. You'll end up tired, frustrated and depressed.

try to slowly build up your learning capacity, and your concentration span. It's obvious that the mind, like the body, needs regular exercise in order to keep fit. If you haven't used your legs in ages, you will not run very fast nor walk very far without feeling exhausted. So, if you haven't practised learning a foreign language in donkey's years, don't be surprised if the going is a little slow at first. Build up your strength gradually. And use all of your mind and senses.

Getting, or being elderly, is no excuse for shirking exercise, physical or mental. And our minds, if properly used, make up for the loss of little grey cells by a far better system of connecting said little cells: we have a fund of experiences, of memories, of knowledge acquired over the years to fall back on. Which children haven't got yet. Or adolescents. Even if they run faster than us.
