  2. Everyday I devote a few hours to studying English: i like reading lyrics of my favourite songs and translating them.
    Is it a good way to learn English?

  3. That's a great line, Francesca! Be careful with your "h"s: "watching", "with", etc.
    We say: "Don't hate me!", which of course I don't, and "I'm joking".

    It can be a good way, Adriana, though it's not always easy, partly because song-writers often use poetic licence. But keep doing it!
    NB You should have said "the lyrics" in this case, as you are being specific.

  4. Every morning I devote two hours to studying english. I read english newsletters. Sometimes it's difficult understanding everything so I try to catch the "general sense" (I'm not sure of these words :-()

  5. You write very well, Raffaella: those two hours a day are evidently paying off! Remember you need a capital letter for adjectives of nationality: "English".

  6. I must devote more time to studying my English, but now I'm devoting four hours. I should have to do it several times in a day.
