Hi! How would you translate the word "dues" in Italian? The sentence is: Italian, for her, was an entirely learned language. “Nothing came to me naturally; I had to pay MY DUES,” she writes. Thanks!!!

Hi! I'm finishing my translation for uni, can someone help me with this sentence: Анна Алексеевна стала чаще уезжать то к матери, то к сестре Thank you so much. I know that уезжать means "to go away, to depart" . Is стать in this sentence "to begin"? What's the meaning of то? к матери is her mother's place, right? Thank you!!!

Hi! My name is Giulia and I'm looking for someone who wants to practise together conversational english, or someone interested in an language exchange practise (English/Italian) :)

I'm translating from Russian "О ЛЮБВИ" by Чехов, and I really don't know how to translate this sentence: "какое уж тут чтение?" what's "уж"? Thanks!!! :)) (I found it can be a short form for уже but also "grass snake")
