    "I'm fourteen" is fine in an informal and contemporary conversation. The 2nd phrase would sound peculiar (to me) these days - but still in use :)

    I agree with Patrick and I believe that you can use both the adverbs 'quick' and 'quickly' in your example ("you read quick" / "you read quickly") but 'quickly' is commonly used in formal writing and speech.

    "you're growing on me" = "you're starting to like me" If you felt a likeness on someone (whom you don't like at first ) then you can say, "I'm growing on you". "Growing" defines the development of your feelings toward someone. good luck! ~romulus

    yes... all sounds fine and natural! it's more polite if you would introduce your statement with these phrases: "I'd love to but..." "I'm sorry but..." or "I hate to say this but..." :)

    well, in this site where I'm learning basic Chinese, English (and even helped others learning it) and sharing our Language to others ... what more can I say? this MAY not be a consistent language learning site but a lot can offer teachings which are FREE of charge. :)

    what sound unnatural to me is the adverb followed by another adverb, although the sentences are correct. selection of words is kinda tricky also and must also be put into consideration to sound more natural (i.e. measurelessly) - unless you're writing a song or a poem... the choice of using the adverbs LATELY and RECENTLY in your sentences is not a big issue to me. :)

    for the sake of standardization, I prefer American English (I'd like British English though...)

    "Umalis man ako" is the most common way of expressing it in Tagalog "Even If I leave, I will still love you..." (trans: "Umalis man ako, mamahalin pa rin kita"). :)

    whatever suits you, really. contemporarily though, "meron" is likely used. "meron ka pa ba'ng tanong?" (do still have anything to ask?) :)
