Michael: I think English is easy to learn.
Alice: I don’t really think you’re right. Indeed, I think English is a very difficult language to learn. It’s true that grammar is easy if we compare English with other languages like Spanish or French, but other aspects are very complicated. For example, the pronunciation. In Spanish you pronounce the words like you write them. However, in English each word has its own pronunciation without any rules.
Agatha: I couldn’t agree more with you Alice. Other aspect I’d like to highlight is that to achieve an intermediate level of English is quite easy if you study a couple of hours every day. When you start to study English, you feel you are progressing and this is very motivating. But when you have an intermediate level and you want to achieve an advanced level, the situation is different. You don’t progress so quickly and the frustration appears more frequently and if you want to improve your level you have to practice a lot of hours.
David: Agatha, that’s just what I think, too. When you want to achieve an advanced level of English you have to think in this language almost all day: from you get up in the morning to you go to sleep in the night. The easiest way to do this is travelling to a country with English speakers but if you can’t, the only way you can improve your level is practicing the listening, the writing, the speaking and the reading every day. For example, you can read books, speak with native English speakers, watch films and series without subtitles, study a good English book of an advanced level, write compositions in English, or even do an English course of a subject that you like. For example, I’m studying a Coaching course in English. Namely, do a lot of activities in English.
Agatha: Absolutely! It’s very important to be immerse yourself in English language if you want to achieve an advanced level and this is not easy. So, in my view, English isn’t easy to learn.

Indeed, I think English is a very difficult language to learn.
It’s true that grammar is easy if we compare English with other languages like Spanish or French, but other aspects are very complicated.
For example, the pronunciation.
In Spanish you pronounce the words like you write them.
However, in English each word has its own pronunciation without any rules.
Agatha: I couldn’t agree more with you more, Alice.
OAnother aspect I’d like to highlight is that to achieve an intermediate level of English is quite easy if you study a couple of hours every day.
Or "The other". More natural to use gerund here: "achieving an intermediate level is easy"
When you start to study English, you feel you are progressing and this is very motivating.
But when you have an intermediate level and you want to achieve an advanced level, the situation is different.
You don’t progress so quickly and the frustration appears more frequently, and if you want to improve your level you have to practice afor lots of hours.
This sentence runs on a bit without a comma somewhere. Or "do lots of hours practice". I'm not exactly sure why the plural "lots" sounds better here, but it does.
David: Agatha, that’s just what I think, too.
When you want to achieve an advanced level of English you have to think in this languageEnglish almost all day: from when you get up in the morning to when you go to sleep in theat night.
Weird preposition stuff. We wake up at dawn, get up in the morning, go to sleep at night, and wake up in the night to use the toilet.
I can see why you'd say "this language", but it sounds a bit odd here. This is one of the rare cases where repeating yourself sounds good, I think.
The easiest way to do this is by travelling to a country with English speakers, but if you can’t, the only way you can improve your level is by practicing the listening, the writing, the speaking and the reading every day.
It's okay without the "by"s, but sounds much better with them.
For example, you can read books, speak with native English speakers, watch films and series without subtitles, study a good English book of an advanced level, write compositions in English, or even do an English course of a subject that you like.
For example, I’m studying a Coaching course in English.
Namely, do a lot of activities in English.
Agatha: Absolutely!
It’s very important to be immerse yourself in English language if you want to achieve an advanced level, and this is not easy.
Or "to be immersed in English". Either verb "immerse" or verb "be" with adjective/participle "immersed".
So, in my view, English isn’t easy to learn.

I feel sorry for Michael - he just said that one short thing and everyone started giving speeches about how wrong he is :D
