    "Roll deep" means you are going out with a large group of people. So, 'my clique rolls deep' means that a group of exclusive/popular friends are going out together. "Rolling in the deep" means something else though, has to do with being very deep in love, or feeling something very strongly.

    It is an idiomatic expression, but it usually means to be overwhelmed with emotion, good or bad. Literally, to be swept away means to be destroyed completely, like "The hurricane swept away my house". Well, in this expression, it is a similar meaning. You are almost completely taken out by some strong emotion, like love, or really pleasing music, etc. Ex. 'When I saw her for the first time, I was completely swept away.' - The girl is so beautiful, that I was overwhelmed with feeling.

    Hey Stefano,

    When I learned Mandarin, I primarily was using 'Practical Audio-Visual Chinese' Vol. 1 & 2 2nd edition. (though there are more.).

    Its a really good all around learning resource, and has very good, intuitive grammar lessons throughout. The only issue, is that it uses traditional script, and includes stuff about BoPoMoFo. I was learning in Taiwan so it was great for me, but might cause a little confusion if you're not familiar with it. It does have Pinyin as well, so I wouldn't worry about it. 

    I know for a fact it was online, I don't have a link ready, but if you google it you should be able to find it. 

    Good luck! 加油!

    Spree is neither negative nor positive, it only means you are doing a lot of something, or over a long period of time. There are shooting sprees, crime sprees, shopping sprees, gaming sprees, etc. So in this context, the worst shooting spree in U.S. history, means the man shot more people in one event than anyone else in U.S. He did a lot of shooting, so its a spree.

    可以 means more like, 'am I allowed to do something?', you need permission, doesn't matter if you physically 'can' do it, you still need to ask, like when asking to leave the classroom you would use this.. 会, means you know how to, like wo hui shuo yingwen, I have learned the ability to speak english so I use 会. 能, very similar to 会, and can be used in similar situations, but you use it when it refers to your ability or inability to do something. 不能 meaning something is impossible. Hope it makes sense!
