how much
How much difficult could be learning a new language? What kind of strategies will we have to acquire for becoming fluent, how much time does each of us have to spend to achieve this great goal (doesn't matter what language it is)?
I know they are silly questions. And the answers are every time the same: it depends. From what?
By how much time we spend each day, how many movies, podcasts we listen, how many books we read, how much vocabulary we know, how much time we can spend speaking with a native language, and ... how great our propension is to learn a language.
So, in the end, there is not an answer but there are many answers!
Thank you for your answers and corrections.

Please explain me!
I'm not sure I have understood in the right way.
What does "kept contradicting him" exactly mean? How can I translate it in Italian? Simply "contraddice"?
Many thanks to everyone.

like and as
Perhaps it could be a silly question, but last evening, listening a TV broadcast, a doubt arose me. The anchorman and his guest talked about a song ("Like a virgin"). So the doubt is: when can I use "like" and when can I use "as" in English?
Thanks
(for English mistake corrections too)

similar sounds
Sometimes, when I listen to a dialogue or a text I have serious difficulties to understand some words with very very similar or identical sound. For example: flour-flower, meat-meet, scent-sent, tale-tail, and so on. Are they effectively identical or I am tone-deaf?
Thanks everyone who will answer me and, please, correct my mistakes.

How can it be possible?
How can people learn more than 3-4 languages. Somebody tells that they can speak 8 (eight!) or 9 (nine!) or 10 (ten!) different languages. But are they fluently? I can't believe that.
Please enlighten me.

the first days of autumn
the light is changing, the colors are changing, the wind is changing, everything is changing. At a few days of distance by the end of the summer all around us is changing. We often don't realize of that....involved into the daily activities, blinded by the black color of the asphalt, by the gray color of the buildings...but if we will stop to watch ..... just a minute...just the time to smell the new scents in the air...

The usual question
Hi everyone
I know that this could be the usual question that every student could ask. And I know that it is very difficult to answer too. But in your opinion how long could take to reach (or reaching?) a good knowledge of a new language? For example starting from a basic knowledge and reserving to the study one hour a day?
Thank you....and many thanks for your corrections.
