"Lots of detective work but since, to me, you are serious in learning English."
I couldn't understand the front part."Lots of detective work but since". Does "detective" mean Colombo or Sherlock Holmes、I think.

Where is your sentence from? Colombo or Sherlock Holmes?Your sentence can be rewritten like this: " IT MEANS THAT THERE WILL BE A LOT of detective work, but since IT SEEMS TO ME THAT you are serious in learning English..................."
It means that there will be a lot of detective/forensic work for someone who wants to find out something, but whose native language is not English.

By "lots of detective work", Jeff means that he has to do a little more research (eg. googling or referencing) to understand what you are trying to express and correct you properly. A basic grammar correction wouldn't be helpful enough. It's a good thing - we get to learn as well! :)
