I don't see correct Estudio Español por divertirme, I believe the word doesn't make sense in the Spanish.
But anyhow you can change the phrase for this ones Estudio Español para divertirme.

I consider more correct this way.
I hope don't upset my hint.

"Divertido" is an adjective and "diversión" is a noun.

Hola Beto. "Entendiendo" (like 'tracking' in English?) is not something you'd naturally say in Spanish. You could maybe say "lo voy entendiendo" (as "I'm understanding it", in the sense of "I am starting to track with it").
In my correction, "entendido" I put the equivalent to "understood" (as in, "I got it".)
Hope this helps! (Hey, you can correct my English or sometimes my Spanglish, when I 'slip' in this forum...)
