    The first one is what I hear spoken most commonly in every day speech. However, the second is more grammatically correct and you are more likely to see in books. The third is seldom, if ever, used.

    Wie kann ich nach jemands Vorliebe fragen? Ich glaube dass "Was moechtest du fuer Abendessen essen?" peinlich klingt. Wie kann ich es besser sagen? "Was moechtest du zum Abend essen?"

    It is similar to the "chance of something happening". This language is fairly specific to gambling and you need to understand how the pay-out system works on horse racing to fully understand the context.

    If it is for a party you can say "I hope you can come" or "I hope to see you there". If it is an invitation to do an activity like skype then you may not say anything. The fact that you offered the invitation lets the person know you hope that they accept.

    The answer from Peachy is correct, but I think the phrase "knowledge level" is somewhat awkward. It would be more common to see "I love people who always want to learn." That implies the same thing, without the concept of grades or level of knowledge which don't really exist after school.

    So Schwerig zu üben Ich bin typisch Amerikaner. Ich bin nur jeder vier Jahre ein Fussball fan. Letze Woche habe ich ein Email über ein Fussballpartie bei der Deutsche Konsolar in Houston bekommen. So, habe ich gedacht dass es viel Spass machen würdet zu das USA-DE spiel mit echten Deutschen anschauen. Am Dienstag Morgen bin ich nach der Sportsbar gefahren. Es war überraschend voll. Ich wusste nicht wiel viele Deutsche Leute in Houston leben. Es war interessant die Leute zu beobachten, aber habe ich niemand gekannt. Ich bin alein in der Ecke gestandedn. Für die letze paar Jahre lerne ich Deutsch. Ich glaube ich ein bisschen gut sprechen kann. Aber habe ich so viel Angst in der nähe von fremde Leute. Ich weiss nicht wie ein Gespräch zu beginnen. Auf Englisch auch, nicht nur auf Deutsch. So vieleicht werde ich immer alein sein. Hinter, ohne Freunden. Werde ich passable Deutsch schreiben, sondern nie meine gesprochene Sprache verbessern.

    You are correct that these do not translate directly with a single word. Augenweide depends on the context. If you are happy to see something we might use a phrase like "a sight for sore eyes" if you mean it to objectify someone we'd probably say something like eyecandy. Fernweh - never say itchy feet, people will take it literally and not understand what you are trying to say. We use another german loan word "It gives me Wanderlust", or would simply say something like "Seeing your vacation pictures makes me want to take a trip" Schadenfreude is another loan word English has borrowed because it makes it very fast to describe something that would take much longer in English. We would say something like "He takes pleasure in watching other people fail". If you use Schadenfreude most English speakers will know the word and what you mean.

    This would depend on where you are. I live in the Southern US (Texas) and we don't use Jumper to describe clothing at all. From conversations with other people and reading in the past I can tell you that if jumper is used in the context of adults it tends to be the first definition (similar to a sweatshirt or hoodie) and if discussing a young girl, it is more likely to be the second. Hope this helps.
