English is my 2nd language - after 40 years I still don't know sooo many words ... I studied 45 min daily in one session - too much, poor concentration, boredom ... I started skipping days. Now I do 15 min x 2/day - much better, I even enjoy it.

What I did was a subscribded to Italian tv (rai). It's great. I also study Italian 45 min almost every night, but if I miss a night or two, I don't stress.
