Depends on how much available time you've. Since 4 Sep 2004 (so 10+ years), I'm working non stop, everyday, including weekends and holidays for at least 14 hours a day. So, I don't think that I've even a free minute for such actions.

That's very good and I was doing it when I was 20.... 30.... 40... even 50. But now being on my 59 there is no courage. And what you read now is what I learned alone. Reading dictionaries. Yes dictionaries. At 1960-1970 being a child of a 5 children family no money for Foreign language Institutes. So I count as miracle even the fact that I can talk and understand the basics. But really no power for learning more, anything, not just English.
