I suggest you invest in Cortot's edition of the Chopin Etudes, published by Salabert.  It has extensive commentary and preparatory exercises for each etude.  They are published separately as Op. 10 and Op. 25.

Best,

but how can i get them?

Start slowly, with a metronome and study each hand seperately.
When youre able to play it faster start playing it with 'rhitm'. With this i mean play the first 1/16 a bit longer of each set of 4 1/16s. Then the second 1/16, then the third, and then the 4th. This way i managed to play the piece very equally and clear (and fast).

I think that they are available through most music stores.  Just make sure you ask that they order the English edition, distributed by Hal Leonard.

Or go to the library and start copying the stuff

Tkes it slowy, a bar at a time.

Practice in dotted rhythms!!!! That's the way forward. Only do metronome when EVERY note is perfetc is in the section you metronome. Metronome is grta, but a one way route to failure if one wrong note slips in.

It will take time, do not get dissapointed if it goes bad one day. Just keep at it, everday, and it will come

I agree, it is easy to make mistakes with the metronome.  However, I would like to relay this bit of advice, from Professor Edward Auer of Indiana University.  One should have success two out of three times, and if this is not the case, one is playing to fast.  In other words, if a wrong note creeps in, slow it down and fix it, then wean yourself back up.  I read that Ralph Votapek, the first winner of the Van Cliburn competition, used to begin at about 2/3 tempo, and move up one notch only for each repetition, and if he made a mistake, he would go back down one.  Perhaps a bit tedious, but certainly worthwhile.

As always, "each hand separately and together" is very helpful here.
