There is a Chinese proverb saying that interests are the best teacher. So i recmend you to read and watch something interesting. And the most significant thing is that you need to memorize words in a specific situation rather than memorize them from dictionary. For your reading , 9gag,QUORA are both good choices. For your watching,jimmy fallon tonight show and conan show.

documentary is the best for Chinese food,i recommend a bite of Chine（舌尖上的中国） for history of Qing dynasty,i recommend i am fixing the antiques in the forbidden city(我在故宫修文物） for Chinese new year,a bite of New Year(舌尖上的新年） reality show is your second choice(they can teach you daily used words and know some Chinese celebrities) go fighting(极限挑战） running man（奔跑吧 兄弟） tallk show about knowledge is worth watching （for Chinese culture,history,etc) xiaosong pedia（晓松奇谈） morning call（晓说） some are not TV shows ,but displayed in the internet.you can find all of them in Chinese videos websites like youku,aiqiyi,etc.

well... first what i need to say is that you have understood it quite well.But there is sometihing detailed need to be explained. i conclude your questions as follows: 1、what's the difference between 来着 and过、了? 过and了 are usually used together to indicate past tense. example:我吃过饭了. when it indicates past tense,来着 ususlly follows a verb and a 刚才 or 刚. 2、whether the last example has to do with past tense or the idea of 'just now'? no,i doesn't. this time it indicates question.it means asker was not sure about the answer. 3、”Also why do you need to add 来着 when 刚才 clearly tells us the action just happened? “ you don't need to. 来着is not necessary here. But until you need to add 了，the sentence makes sense.like 他刚才说了什么？ you can regard them as two patterns. 4、“他还哭来着呢。For all we know, he could have cried over the movie years ago!“ this sentence is kind of weird .Anyway, 来着 here means he did cry,though he might cry long time ago. i list several indications of 来着 for your reference: 1、not sure 2、past tence 3、emphasize（like他还哭来着呢)

by the way 译为顺便一说，一般和句子其他内容以逗号分开。 句子改为：What are you into , by the way? what are you into 译为你喜欢什么。 最近有一部美国电影 He is not that into you和此句类似 。 that into 可译为那么喜欢。

英美均需在日期前加the 区别在于 1、日 和 月的位置。 2、在美式的写法中，1st, 2nd, 3rd的st, nd, rd是不使用的。 3、由于日期书面表达不同，读法也不一样。 比如1990年4月11日 11th April 1990(英）读作：the eleventh of April ,ninteen-ninty April 11,1990(美） 读作：April the eleventh ,ninteen-ninty
